Library resources are carefully reviewed and chosen by librarians for accuracy, authority, and relevance.

Use the library to find:

• articles in scholarly journals
• articles in magazines & newspapers
• books on your topic
• help with your research, from choosing a topic, to search techniques, and putting it all together.

Information that you find by searching Google has not been consistently reviewed by experts with subject knowledge. Anyone can publish on the web, and that makes it hard to determine credibility and relevance. 

You may run into paywalls that require payment to access articles (like newspaper, magazine, and journal articles). Some of these sources may be available at no cost through your library.

Use Google or other web search engines to find:

• breaking news & current information: news, weather, etc.
• research on a well-known event or individual
• information on corporations, non-profits and other organizations
• job postings, shopping, or travel services
