About

There's more to research than simply googling. 

  • A planned and methodical approach ensures your research is thorough and that your product is factually accurate. The State of Victoria's Research Skills site shows comprehensively what's involved.
  • Evaluating sources is critical to ensure that the information you present is credible; a number of resources on the Evaluating Sources page show how to select reliable, authoritative information.
