Research Guides: Business (Buch): Find Websites

Recommended Business Websites

Websites can be valuable sources for supplementing information you have gathered from books and periodicals. However, it is very important that you evaluate the information you find to determine if it is reliable and useful. Below are selected websites that might help with your research.

Consider the following:

Anyone can build a website, experts and non-experts alike.
Some information may be outdated or even hazardous to the reader.
Web searches often retrieve more than 1,000,000 results, many of which are irrelevant to your research.
Website publishers may be biased and have an agenda, or may be trying to sell you something.
Since no one supervises the Internet, there's a lack of basic quality and usability standards.
Website information is not reviewed the same way as published works (books, scholarly articles, encyclopedias).
The Internet often functions as a place for people to share their unfiltered opinions.
Scholarly sources are rarely available for free. The library subscribes to research databases that provide access to high-quality research at no cost to you.
