Internet Research Tips

For this assignment, you can pull information from the web from two websites. the CDC and WHO. The best way to search these websites is to type your search terms into google along with the site limiter for one of the two websites. Your search will look like this:

MRSA site:cdc.gov

This search will return results related to MRSA from the CDC website only. 

You might also want to put your search terms in quotation marks if they are more than one word. For example:

"west nile" site:who.int

This will return results using the words "west nile" together and in that order from the World Health Organization website only.
