Sources of Research

The best place to start is UG2GO It contains many databases that are full of easily accessible information. To login, use your regular user name and password from school.

 If you can't find the information that you need on UG2GO, then you can try searching the internet. Think carefully about the search terms that you use so that you really narrow your focus. Look closely at each web site that you visit and ask yourself questions to make sure it's a good source of information: does it have a clear author/owner listed? Is that author/owner reputable? Does the information seem biased? If possible, doublecheck your information on a second source.

 Another place to look for sources of information is in our library catalogue. You can search through our growing collection of non-fiction books to find information on almost every topic you could think of! Then come to the library and sign out the best one(s).

 You can also search the [|Guelph Public Library Catalogue]. They have a great [|Cool Links] page that directs you to other helpful web sites as well.
