Theology: Indigenous Perspectives: Find Online Resources

Finding online resources:

The online world contains a wealth of information that is created by different authors and communities. Although you should start your electronic research using a library catalog or database there are times when a website found through a search engine, such as Google, that might contain resources that you could use for a scholarly paper. 

The following list of questions are some helpful guidelines to think about when searching for electronic scholarly materials in the online world.

Click on one of the tabs in this box to see a list of recommended links for theological and indigenous studies from the Tyndale Libraries.

Critically assessing a web resource:

• Who created the website? And for what purpose?
• Who was the website created for? Is the content of the website suitable for the audience's information need and/or context?
• What worldview and/or perspective does the content of the website represent?
• Is the creator of the website an authority on the topic they are writing about? What makes them an authority of the topic they are writing about?
• Are there any important voices or perspectives missing from the content of the website?
• Are there any restrictions to anyone accessing the information on the website? If so, what are they? And why?
