    • Cannot be searched in Google.
    • Includes sources written by professors, scholars, journalists, "smart people", etc.

    • Anyone can publish a website.  The information included might not verified by anyone.
    • Can be searched in a variety of search engines, including Google.
    • Must examine with a critical eye!
