Welcome to the Bellevue University Reference Websites LibGuide. The Internet is literally exploding with information, but can you trust it? It can be a great source of information, or it can also lead you down a path of misinformation. The problem is that no one organizes the information on the web or checks it for accuracy. Anyone and everyone can post their opinions and promote their agenda, but good information is out there if you know how to find it.
The websites in this guide have been curated for credibility and accuracy. They are grouped by major category and subdivided within each category. They provide current information, statistics, and other relevant reference content. Of course, there are many more good websites out there; this LibGuide includes a sampling but is not comprehensive list. Here are some strategies for locating more useful credible websites:
