Locative Art

It seems to me that each site provides its own interpretation. Wikipedia categorized the term into “Locative Media” as opposed to Locative Art.  Meanwhile, the Leonardo site simple gives me articles to choose from that relate to the topic. I think it must be a keyword search, looking for articles that contain that certain keyword. The WorldCat site gives me a bunch of books/ebooks/articles to choose from. These are most likely based on keywords as well, sorted by relevancy or amount of repeated keywords in the reading. The differences are that they each seem to have different sources. This means that I could never find a 100% sure reading about the topic because there seem to be so many out there. I think that the WorldCat offers the most credible sources, followed by Leonardo and then by wiki. WorldCat offers the most amount of citations and information about each article, giving me the feeling that I can’t really go wrong there. Leonardo seems to be legit, maybe because of the dot org domain name. These are usually reserved for more legit articles. Wiki of course gives me a very straightforward answer with hardly any extra readings. But, this information cannot be credible because anyone can go online and change it. I’ve learned throughout my days that I must always get a proper citation for a reading, or risk plaguerism or incorrect information.  Most of my researching these days is limited to WorldCat and other dot org sites, with Wikipedia sometimes being the initial point where I gather a sense of a topic.
