Web Resources
Use the Google or Yahoo! search engine to find information on the World Wide Web. Evaluate such information sources not only for relevance, but also quality:
-
What is the site's name? Who owns the site?
-
What are the site's purposes? What are its biases?
-
Is the author mentioned? How is she an authority? Does she cite sources?
-
Does it seem up to date, accurate, thorough?
Google Scholar (click on more from the Google menu) searches a subset of the WWW for scholarly articles, reports, and books. You may or may not be able to get to full text without paying a fee. Before you pay for a journal article, consider ordering it through our interlibrary loan service for free.
Citing Sources
Properly documenting your sources is part of good scholarly writing. Use American Psychological Association (APA) style as indicated in our quick guides:
Homepage → Help/Guides → Citing Sources → APA Style
These guides are based on the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association. Several copies are available for borrowing if you need more information.
