Websites


 * Becareful selecting websites for information on academic topics. Example: Wikipedia...good for pop culture, but remember anyone can edit there...even a first grader.
 * Check for the validity and relevance of the information you seek. Example: Construction of the food pyramid from an anorexic group...may present a limited view point.
 * When searching, place "site:.edu" or "site: .gov" to obtain only sites with an .edu extension (strictly academic sites)
 * .gov sites are excellent for statistics.
 * use boolean operators such as AND, OR, NOT to narrow your search.

Here are a few websites to get you started: [|WebMD] [|About.com] [|Mayo Clinic] [|HealthCentral] [|Genetic Alliance] [|Healthfinder]
