Article Databases/Indexes
Article indexes provide citations (e.g., author, title, a journal name, volume, issue, page numbers, etc.) to identify articles. Most indexes also include abstracts (summaries) and a small handful of online indexes provide selected full text of the actual article. The Library does not own every article cited in each index so remember to check the Library Catalog to verify if we own the journal the article was published in. Access the following databases from Randall Library's Home Page, using the "Databases" link.ONLINE:

Web-Site Evaluation
The reliability and quality of information from Web
sources has created much debate in the academic world. Researchers must always
remember that the Web is a vast, unregulated information resource that ANYONE
with the proper tools and a little money can create a site on the Web. When
viewing a site for research purposes, users can and should perform a Web-site
analysis by consider the some of the following points taken from Thinking
Critically about World Wide Web Resources - UCLA College Library:
Who is the author of the page or site? Does the author appear to be qualified to
write about the topic?
Is the site affiliated with any institution, company, or organization? If so,
does this affiliation add bias to the information? Or, does it suggest that the
source is credible?
Does the information seem unreasonably or unfairly biased in any way? (Avoid any
sites that appear to be advertising a product or service.)
Who is the intended audience? Is the information for a specialized or general
audience?
When was the site created or last modified? Is the design of the site effective?
Is it easy to navigate the site? Do links to other sites work?
