Garbage In, Garbage Out! Make sure you are using quality, reliable resources.
Top 10 Reasons Students Cannot Cite or Rely on Wikipedia
Search engine optimization is not our friend,; the top Google results are not the best for students doing research. The reason they are at the top is because users most often click on them, not because they are the most accurate or relevant.
Gale Literature books (use indexes!), interlibrary loan
school library catalog- see Alexandria Researcher link at left
World Book Online
State Library of Kansas- search the same high quality databases that you'll be required to use in college.
Use Advanced Search to narrow choices to full text etc.
Use Explore Our Resources to choose Literature Resource Center or another database.
sweetsearch.com is quality search tool. All websites have been evaluated by research experts before being included.
