When to go out on the Web:

Sometimes consulting web resources is extremely valuable for your research. For example, if you are writing about such an organization as the United Nations, you will want to take a look at its website to see what kind of information they provide.

United Nations Web Site
   
US Census Bureau Web Site If you need statistical or Census information about the United States, probably the best place to look is the online Census or Statistical Abstract of the United States.

Often research guides can be very powerful tools for focusing on information you need. The following link contains reliable websites on various topics, prepared by the Seton Hall library faculty: http://www.shu.edu/academics/libraries/liaisons.cfm.

US Depart. of Health and Human Services Web Site

The WWW Virtual Library Web Site

 But remember: there is a lot of misinformation out on the web.
