When I do research, generally I like to use the internet as much as I can due to the fact that it is much easier than searching through books, and trying to find quotes that go with the paper. I also like using the internet because you can find information, quickly, easily, and you don’t have to leave your house. For the most part it is easy to pick out which articles are reliable and which ones aren’t. I find that it is also easier to find articles that are more closely related to your research topic, than it is to try and find a book that matches up exactly. If I am required to have a book source I normally prefer using an encyclopedia because the information is almost all facts, and it was not written to “draw you in” it was written to deliver information. Often times throughout high school, I was required to use numerous different types of sources when writing a research paper, which most of the time meant that I would get my information from a couple internet sources, and borrow a few quotes from the other sources I had to have.
I think that http://www.wto.org/ is the real website. The reason I think this is because it looks much more professional and the tabs along the upper right part of the site show menus when I place my mouse over it, whereas the other site does not do so.
