The Internet Filter Bubble
We focused on the difference between scholarly and popular sources. While popular sources do have an important place in research, there are important considerations for searching for these resources on the Internet. This discussion introduces you to the concept of the "Internet Filter Bubble" and how it can affect your search results when using certain search engines, such as Google. You will also be introduced to the strategies you can use to pop the filter bubble.
