Google Tricks

Google Tricks

You can leverage the power of Google to help find reliable information from trusted sources. By adding a site limiter to your search, you can tell Google to only show you results from certain types of websites. It's simple!

If you want to find information from government organizations, add site:.gov to your search. Your results will only include websites with .gov domains. For example, searching for homelessness in Nebraska site:.gov returns results from the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services, the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness, and other government organizations. 

If you want to find information from educational organizations like universities, add site:.edu to your search. Your results will only include websites with .edu domains.

You can also do this with whole websites. For example, if you want to quickly find Doane's academic integrity policy, search for academic integrity policy site:doane.edu.
