Using
the Web. . .
Available via the WWW, there are freely available
search engines that allow you to access citations to and full-text of
primary source documents. Listed below are two that are recommended starting
places:
- Primary
Sources on the Web -- Site maintained by UC Berkeley's Library, which provides a selected
list of web sites containing primary source materials.
- Government Documents -- Emory University's library resource with helpful guides to finding
materials, statistics, and documents from government agencies and branches.

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.
|
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)! (NOTE: Llibraries tend to not loan out rare books or archival materials. You may,
however, request reprints or microfilm of primary sources via interlibrary
loan.)
