Tuesday 10/16/2012: Research Materials

Posted by E Saturday, October 13, 2012

Today we will be using various materials to identify proper research sources for use with your paper. 

First, one source that is not allowed is: WIKIPEDIA. While you may go to Wikipedia to read about information or a topic, you must use the sources that Wikipedia used to write their article.

Where to find good sources? 

There's much more than Google's basic search engine out there to help you find sources. The internet is a wonderful tool if you know how to use it correctly. You can even view online ebooks for research!

1) Chicago Public Library has an online database full of 1000 of research articles to use. Simple use the link below:

2) Google Books Online Database:

Google Books Database Topics



3) For more simplistic definitions of how certain things work use the website below:
