Websites VS. Databases
A website is a page on the Internet. Anyone can make a website (entertainment, educational, ???)
Misinformation!
A database is a collection of material that is searchable in some format.
Experts or professionals pick and maintain the information that goes into the database.
Usually, the library has to pay to have access to the information.
Items in a database are considered legit sources of information.

Objectivity Is the information biased?
What is the purpose of the information? To inform? Persuade? Explain? Advertise?

Coverage Is there enough information?

Magazines VS. Journals Even though popular magazines can provide
some useful information, they are sometimes unsatisfactory for research topics on serious topics.
For example: You need an article on anorexia
Women’s Day might contain an interesting article, but it will not be as in-depth or authoritative as an article in a scholarly publication such as The International Journal of Eating Disorders
