When Do You Need a Website?

You may need to use a website for a source if you need:

  • breaking news information.
  • government reports, documents, or data.
  • information directly from a business or organization, such as annual reports, statistics, press releases, etc.
  • any information that is very recent and/or only available on the free internet

Luckily, the librarians at Eshleman Library have created a tool that will help you sort the good from the bad when it comes to information from websites!
