Refining your search
Narrowing & Widening your Google Search
• Try using an “exact phrase”• Use OR to widen your search • Ask Google to – Omit (-) a word/phrase – Search a certain language or file format– Narrow to a period of time – Search specific domain types (i.e. .org)
1111
Why use quotes?• Remember… In basic search, you can specify when you want
exact phrases to be searched by putting quotes around your sentence/phrase.
• (i.e. “West Virginia”) Without quotes you could get results like this: The sun was setting in the west and my wife, Virginia, was by my side.

Evaluating Websites
27
Authority
•Trustworthiness
• Reliability
28
Guidelines to determine website authority:
• Who is the sponsor? Provide insight on the credibility of information published on the site.
• How current is it? Should be updated frequently; as health information changes constantly.
• Opinion? Or facts? If facts, can be verified from a primary information source.
• Target audience? Should clearly state whether the information is intended for the consumer or the health professional
• Official site? Blog?
