Searching Google may lead you to interesting documents on your topic. Always make sure that you carefully evaluate the source of the information, and attempt to verify what you learn from a general web search in another resource, such as a library database, encyclopedia, or academic journal. Try searching for organizations that are engaged with the topic that interests you. Do this by using the advanced search feature and limiting the domain to ".org"
