Zera Research Paper: Database Resources

Databases are organized collections of data. We subscribe to our databases and they require a username and password when off-site. Doing research on databases allows students to access many different types of information that in most cases have been published and checked for accuracy.

1. If you have a questions - ask them! Ms. Zbinden is always available to answer research questions.
2. Using the databases we covered in class is important. They offer good information and will create citations for your sources.
3. Use books if they apply to your topic. If you don't know how to find them ask Ms. Zbinden or one of the Library staff members.
4. If you use the Internet for information, make sure you review the tips for deciding if the information is valid - see the "Evaluating Sources" tab.
