In general, college research requires the use of authoritative sources.  Here are a few characteristics of  authoritative sources:

• Written by authors with subject expertise, as demonstrated by educational background, awards, work experience, positions held, publications, etc.

• Articles published in respected journals, magazines or newspapers (respect is earned by minimizing editorial errors and by maintaining high standards of fact-checking, etc.)

• Books and ebooks published by publishers who have high standards in relation to author and editor expertise and background.

• Information provided by respected organizations which are usually run by experts of the disciplines related to the organizations.

The Library offers literally millions of sources for your research projects. In addition to our traditional books, you can remotely access our many databases and other licensed resources for newspapers, magazines, journals; research reports, hundreds of thousands of ebooks and more.
