Tips for research on the **free web**:
 * If the source DOES NOT have an **author** (creator) or an **organization**, DO NOT use it as one of your sources.
 * The more search terms you use, the more specific your search results will be.
 * Typing in a question will not get you a direct answer -- instead, use various key words to find the information you want.
