Tips and Tricks for Searching the Databases

Are They Credible?

Although some students question the credibility of The History Channel and Encyclopedia Britannica they are both credible sources that are written and reviewed by experts in the field.

All the websites and external databases listed below are reliable and valid resources to use for easy and accessible information. Due to their appealing layout, large text, and java elements these websites tend to have better (looking) information compared to articles in the databases especially those in HTML text.

If you are having a hard time finding something useful in the database or the articles prove to have poor readability these websites are a great alternative.
