Getting Started

If you need to do some serious school work, you are in the right spot.

The resources featured on this page provide access to reliable sources that are easily filtered by type, date, and reading level.  Best yet, there are built-in citation tools to help you ace that paper!

Remember, just because you are using a computer to access these sources does not mean they are "internet sources."  Many of the results you find will be digital versions of journal articles, reference books and the like.
