How to spot fake news

Made-up news isn’t new, but it now spreads quickly through social media. Readers remain the first line of defense against the dissemination of these bogus reports. So, how do you spot a fake?

Google Scholar

Use general search engines for searching the internet to get familiar with your topic. Using Google Scholar, instead of regular Google, will lead you to reliable, scholarly information. 

Google Scholar Search

Google Scholar is an alternative for the Zuyd search engine DiZ, but you can’t search the Zuyd collection exclusively. 
When using Google Scholar, Zuyd students and staff can take advantage of the Zuyd extension for Full-text (online) access.
You must adjust Google Scholar settings to match the library link for Zuyd.

How does it work? This clip shows you.
