Other Internet Resources

The Internet provides a quick and easy means of gathering unfiltered information. You, the researcher, have a responsibility to evaluate the information you find and use; however, library staff can offer guidance. It is equally important that you properly cite print and electronic resources. A good source for instructions on evaluating and citing resources is the Information Literacy & You module designed by the University Libraries.
