Unit 9
My search terms is venom (arachnids OR arthropods) and I used Google for my search engine tool.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2042310/ This is my .gov site
After going to this site I clicked on the full text PDF and right away I saw that it was wrote by PHD's and MD's which seems very creditable. Furthermore, it have a cited source at the bottom of page.

I found this one to be interesting because as a kids I believed this myth. .Edu should be pretty accurate because it is a school site dealing with real information. In addition, most admins are going to be ether teachers or scholarly students under professors. This University is also "The Princeton Review's America's Best Value Colleges (2013) named UCR among the top 121 Best Western Colleges and one of America's 75 Best Value Colleges."

http://www.afpmb.org/sites/default/files/pubs/guides/field_guide.pdf This is going to be my .org site
This one is great because it is a military operations manual. This article has a wide range in all fields of venom. It also includes a appendix with all the listing of scientific names at the end for easy reference.

This is a scholarly article I found on Wiley online library. This article seems good because it is cited well and a PHD professors wrote it. The article was first published online on 5 JAN 2002 which is relatively new for this sort of research.

In conclusion, their are many different domain site's a researcher can use to garther information on a topic. I believe .edu and .gov are going to be the most accurate web domains to use. On the other hand, they seem harder to find the exact information for me on this unit. The .org got me some nice results but the .com gave me the most however, they were vague.
