Problem: How would you response to this paragraph:
I think the reason for Google searches is that it is simple. Googling a topic quickly results in numerous hits on the topic. Some are not backed by facts. Wikipedia for instance provides a cornucopia of information about a topic but it is not necessarily factual due to the ability of contributors to add information. Having to go a step further to narrow the search within specific databases takes more time. I can say this because Googling is a practice, I often find myself doing. Sometimes it begins as innocently as just starting to explore research for my topic. I have to be very intentional with reminding myself that the resources I will use are required to come from edu/org sources. These databases are fact-checked. It's embarrassing but I'll share my tip it might help someone. I remind myself using a post-it that I wrote and stuck to my laptop screen. Now every time I get ready to research I have a bright pink reminder of acceptable search engines. I recognized that by doing this the simplicity of just using google or other dot coms ultimately cost me more time because I have to do the same research through the correct databases anyway.
