--I put the five first websites but some of them are not the corrects but you have written tha
we put the five first
1. Do you think it is better to have higher or lower number of results for you research?
Why?
-I think that is better to have a higher number of result but many time the webpages are not
de correct ones
2. Is the number of results the best advanced search or do you need another criteria
too?
-I think that if you specify something you maybe are going to have a better result
because when I have putted it in quotation marks I had a concrete result
3. Can you work out website reliability by reading the website address? How?
-I think that you can because when you read the introduction of the webpages you could
know something about the webpage is gonna to be about
4. What searching criteria are you going to use in your research job?
I´m going to use quotation marks if I don´t find the webpages that I need because
when I was looking the webpages without any simbols I found webpages similar that
the ones that I have founded with quotation marks so it could be more exactly
Finally, apply them and add your chosen websites in your Symbaloo in white titles. Don`t
