Resources for Scholarly Research

Do you type keywords into Google when you're looking for sources for your essay? There are much easier ways to find scholarly sources.
 * SweetSearch- a search engine for students. []
 * Wikipedia—don’t cite it in your essay, but do this instead: find an article on your topic and scroll to the bottom. Most Wikipedia articles have a Works Cited page that lists all the sources used in making the article. Look up books and links listed there for some great sources.
 * Google Scholar- a search engine for scholarly sources- []
 * Google Books- search for books on a topic. Find these books in a library or on Amazon, or use the “look inside” feature to read a few chapters online. http://books.google.com/
