Students who are having troubles finding decent research information can attend the “Find Reliable Information on the Internet” workshop Wednesday.

The workshop will begin at 5 p.m. in Ninth Street Hall, Room 2016.

Mark May, assistant director of the Academic Advising Center, will conduct the workshop.

May said he has done this workshop for a couple of years because a lot of people don’t realize that some Internet information is invalid.

“I want to show students ways to get information of better quality,” he said. “Many people don’t know the different options they have.”

May also said he hopes to help students find valuable information on the Internet more quickly through the workshop.

May mentioned that he will speak about different search engines available and what each engine is good for.

“Students tend to use the search engines with whatever e-mail account they have,” May said. “That’s not very good because they are aimed at trying to get you to buy things.”

May said students need to find search engines that have the limited search options.

“Finding Reliable Information on the Internet” will be an interactive workshop. May said students will actually be searching the Internee for information during the workshop.

This workshop is part of the 30-Minute Student Workshop Series put on by the Learning Assistance Center.

Admission is free and open to the public.
