Use
the Web to get to the Library!
|
| The
Public Web uses search engines
like Google to find free websites. Some of these sites
offer good information, such as most government sites (.gov),
some commercial (.com) and some organizational sites (.org),
but many public sites are not appropriate for scholarly research.
The
Invisible Web includes
resources
restricted to authorized users. This is why you must
login to use the library's article databases - your student
fees pay for web access to the library's authoritative, scholarly
sources. More

Go
with
the Public Web for:
. pop culture, quick answers
. very current news, stock tickers, weather
. small assignments that require little research
. free government information |
 |
Stop!
The
more scholarly your research, the less you should rely on the
free Public Web and the more you should use the library's paid
resources.
