Using Google
Google can be great. It’s quick, easy and there is a vast amount of free and current information on the Internet, which includes governments, organisations and businesses websites, and specialist blogs. The downside to Google is that it does not discriminate and the crawler cannot find everything - especially information stored in the deep web in databases or subscription services! Google uses an algorithm called PageRank which may not give the best results for academic information. The key to achieving both academic and professional success is to use a range of resources. At Coventry University London we provide access to a wide range of quality information resources. Take a look at the recommended resources below.
