To search only college/university sites, **add site:edu to the search box**. This limits your search to ".edu" sites. **You still need to evaluate the source!** Google Advanced Search Video (2 minutes)

**3. Databases for "deeper" research**
 * Gale Virtual Reference Library
 * Oxford African American Resource Center
 * World History in Context (Gale) (avoid Reference articles - look at Primary Sources and Academic Journals)
 * Pop Culture Universe (ABC-Clio)
 * JSTOR Some of the articles are VERY academic. See a librarian if you need help.

4. Reminder: Beyond Google

 * Sweet Search is a search engine that will only point to websites that have been evaluated and approved by research experts, librarians and teachers. Rather than ranking the results by popularity, they ensure their results are ranked by credibility.
 * Yippy or Clusty (two names, same search engine) is an engine that searches other search engines for you. Yippy/Clusty groups similar results together into “clouds.” Clouds help you see your search results by topic so you can zero in on exactly what you’re looking for or discover unexpected relationships between items.
 * Don't forget to CRAP test your sources!
