"Quality information is essential for improved health." (MLA - Medical Library Association)

The Internet can be a great source for information and research as long as you carefully evaluate the websites you find there.

Things to Consider:

• Authorship (who is responsible for the information)
• Accuracy (how accurate)
• Currency (how current)
• Publishing Body (consider URL such as .com, .org, etc)
• Point of View (the bias)
• Appropriateness (how will this affect your research)

GENERAL RESOURCES

In support of the information needs of its users, John Moritz Library provides links to resources maintained by other information providers. While we make every reasonable effort to post to active and operational links, we cannot guarantee their currency or the accuracy of the data itself. Users should properly evaluate Internet resources according to their academic and research needs. If you discover an obsolete link, please report it to John Moritz Library staff in person, by phone (402) 354-7251, or by e-mail library@methodistcollege.edu
