MALE SPEAKER: When I'm looking for online sources, I search through all these websites, but I only go to the ones that have .org, .edu, .gov. And some of those-- some of the .govs and the edus aren't always reliable either, so you have to narrow them down, you have to find the sources, you have to make sure they're reliable before you can use them. It's a lot harder to find a reliable source on the internet than it is to find it in a book.

FEMALE SPEAKER 1: I try to go to websites that have a reliable author, like someone who is maybe a teacher at a major university. But I try to avoid different websites that anybody can post anything on, like a Wikipedia, where a normal person can just put their views and opinions on such subjects.

FEMALE SPEAKER 2: Well, as far as using online resources for research, I give everyone a fair shot. That doesn't mean I take everything everyone said at a face value, but I can have a conversation with someone and that can be very insightful. So I figure that as true of being online too. So I may read a Wikipedia site or maybe Yahoo Answers, but I take it with a grain of salt.

So if I read something more credible, like on a university website-- maybe a professor posted something versus something that just the general public posted-- if they coincide, I'm like, we'll let me see what their view was on this. But if it doesn't and they just totally out of left field, then I eliminate. I just don't use that resource. Well, not the resource, that particular input. I don't. So I just had to weed through it.
