It explains that website extensions like .com, .org, .edu and .gov provide clues to the type of site. It also lists the ABDCD method for evaluating a website's authority, bias, currency, and documentation. The document encourages students to use academic databases for research rather than internet searches, as databases allow keyword searches, citation creation, and information from vetted sources.
