Welcome to your page on 'Homelessness' or 'Murder'
A quick way to find out more about Homelessness or Murder is to do an internet search but remember to think critically about which websites you use. For example, the Homelessness in America website is probably more reliable than Wikipedia. Wikipedia has great coverage of many topics, including the topic below, but you need to be aware that this information is contributed to by lots of different people. If you are using this site, it always pays to check the information against that on other sites or in books from the library.
Using a clustering search engine (such as Carrot2) rather than relying on a JGI (Just Google It) approach is a more time effective strategy. You will still need to assess the websites you find for suitability but it clusters the results in a meaningful way that can provide additional feedback as well as a more comprehensive search of the web. Assess your sites using the CRAP test. :)

Referencing using APA style:
Remember, you need to produce your own work and say (cite) where it came from. A great tool for this (using the APA referencing style) is RefMe. This tool also has Android and iPhone apps which makes using it very easy. I have added a YouTube video below that walk you through this very simple process.
