Should You Use Google?
Sure, but remember it's important to treat Internet resources as you would any other information resource. Critical evaluation of the site is absolutely necessary, i.e. who has made changes to that Wikipedia article, and can you trust that they know what they are talking about. Thinking Critically about World Wide Web Resources, by Esther Grassian, UCLA College Library, can help you evaluate web pages.
Citing Sources
It is very important to cite words and/or ideas you take straight from another work and put into your paper. Your instructor will let you know what specific format to use. We have print guides at the Reference Desk, or you can use Quick Reference: Citation Guides.
