In our information rich society, a vast amount of information is published and disseminated online, so you may wish to run some general searches for information using an online search engine.
This can be a very effective way to find material such as grey literature which is not published through commercial publishing platforms, or included in online research databases. Have a look at the library's "Advanced Google Searching" guide for more information.
It's important to be aware that the quality of these sources can be highly variable, and you should always evaluate the information you source via the search engines. An online Evaluating Information Sources tutorial is available to help you.
