Credible Websites
Wikipedia is NOT acceptable for finding quality information. You should never use it in your references. However, there are some credible websites published by the government or companies that offer useful information. You just need to always evaluate the information you see! (See previous page for information evaluation.)
Guides
Librarians take a lot of time making detailed research guides for almost every class/program at TCC. Before you start any project or paper, it's always a good idea to check out what resources have already been put together in these guides.
