Sponsored links are advertisements that often appear at the top of your search results. This means that someone has paid to have their website appear at the top of a specific web search. Depending on the search engine you’re using, it may not always be easy to identify these ads from your real search results
This is very important to note. even in regular searches for a certain online store or something, the first result is never what you searched for. The other day I was searching for the website for Barnes and Nobel, when I looked on Google the first result was Amazon, who is notoriously known to be trying to put other booksellers out of business by selling books for 60-70% off

A librarian has compiled information in a given discipline, and some are even made for a specific course. When deciding which guide to use, you’re not limited to just the ones listed for your major! You should select the guide that best fits the topic of your project or class.
Librarians are so important to our success in college. It is terrible that some people do not use the free recourses we have provided through our school!

However, you may need to use many types of sources, not all of which will be covered by your basic search engine, like Google.
This course has really helped me understand that sometimes this can be true. Google has prejudice sometimes as do most search engines

Even though the title of the National Geographic article seems to imply koalas are in less danger, the article’s content does not actually assert that koalas are perfectly safe. It concludes with: “If we want koalas, we’ve got to look after them. We need to step up.”[2]
This really puts into prospective finding credible sources before jumping to conclusions.

The article states that koala numbers are in decline and may be headed toward functional extinction. In fact, despite the way Kathy presented the article in her tweet, her article appears to actually support David’s point.
I find it funny how sometimes people can interpret the same article differently based on previous knowledge/ opinions they have

First of all, we should start by checking our emotions. Why is this contentious? Because koalas are cute and they may be functionally extinct and that’s sad. It might feel like David is claiming we shouldn’t care about koalas. After all, he is asserting that we shouldn’t “buy into the hype.” Is this the case, though? There is a lot here that we should stop and think about before jumping to conclusions
Koalas do trigger an emotional response from many people. We certainly should care about all animals, and I feel that more information is needed to clarify his claims.
