NEVER Wikipedia! Use it to start - the links at the bottom of the page are often great, but do NOT quote from it!

Always use a variety of sources; in high school, this means every paper should have a quote from at least:

1 Web source

1 Database (online)

1 Print resource *

*note: if there are NO print resources, an online, paid-for database can count as a print source!
