Using the Web. . .

Below are some searchable websites recommended by librarians to start looking for general Information on your topic:

  • INFOMINE: a virtual library of Internet resources relevant to faculty, students, and research staff at the university level.
  •  
  • Librarians' Internet Index: collection of Internet sites that have been reviewed, selected, and organized by librarians.
  •  
  • BUBL Information Service: Selected Internet resources covering all academic subject areas

 

When You Use the Web...

Information on the "free web" can contain good information, but be sure to use criteria to carefully evaluate what you find -- and compare the information with other research resources available via the libraries at Emory University.

Five Criteria for evaluating information you find on the WWW.
 
Also, don't pay for an item UNLESS you're absolutely sure that
  • Emory's libraries don't own the item you need
  •  
         AND
     
  • You can't get the item from another library (try InterLibrary Loan)!
