Please limit your web site sources to .gov, .edu, or .org sources. .gov generally provides the most reliable information, while .org sites can be affiliated with biased organizations. If in doubt about whether a web source is reliable, contact your instructor or a librarian.

When searching Google, you should use a domain limiter to narrow down your searches to .gov, .edu, or .org sources. Simply type site:[INSERT DOMAIN HERE] after your keyword search.

To enter in a specific date range, click "Custom range." 

A "Custom date range" window will open. Enter the beginning date into the "From" field and the ending date into the "To" field and click "Go":
