1) Enter Measles 2019 in the general search boc of any Non-Google search engine. How many and what type of results do you see?
Choose one from below.
2) Now go to www.google.com and enter Measles 2019 in the general search box, and compare and contrast the results between the two searches.
3) Using Google Advanced Search, perform an Education (.edu) Domain Search for Flu 2018. How do these results differ from those above?
4) From your .edu Google Advanced Search results, select a site that you feel would be useful in preparing your research. Identify its complete URL address.
6) What do you find most useful about Domain and Google Advanced Searches?
In terms of how the internet is organized, websites are mapped based on the type of website that it is. For example, Amazon is a retail website interested in commercial activity, so therefore it is mapped at amazon.com, with the .com signaling that it is a commercial (with .com representing "commercial") website. Similarly, a company may have a commerical side (.com) website, but have an internal website where they share relevant internal documents which may have a .net address, for "network," instead of .com.
Keep in mind that these are general guidelines and there are no restrictions on purchasing a domain name. You will need to research to determine the credibility and intent of any given website.
There are literally hundreds of domains available globally, and there are some domains that are specific to websites based in the United States.
Check the following websites to determine if each is credible or not. Give a short explanation on specific reasons from each category of the C.R.A.P. test to support your decision. Look at the websites carefully, including "About Us" information, sponsoring organizations, and ads.
For this assignment, all criteria must be met "without any doubt" to pass as being credible for medical research.

A Quick Lesson on Databases
On the following pages, you will have the opportunity to explore two different databases, CINAHL (Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature) and Nursing Reference Center.
Despite “nursing” appearing in the title of both databases, they each include a wealth of information and scholarly sources across the entire range of health sciences.
Databases are collections of like-materials presented electronically for convenient access. There are additional types of databases, but the three most common types of databases found in libraries are:
