Learn the Databases. Gale. EBSCO. Navigating true search engines beyond the ad-driven Google is important for academic research. This link takes you to the "multi-database" search. Gale is very good. The results are more consistent and it is more intuitive to use. Feel free to explore EBSCO as well, though many sources are not embedded within this database.
Remember: at least 5 of your sources have to come from these databases.
