Use these to look up information if you have already decided what subject and key words you need to use and what exact questions you need to answer! Remember - Items from OSLIS sources are from reliable sources... check items found through general Internet searches for authors, page hosts, etc., for reliablilty!!! Put "quotes" around words and whole phrases so it knows exactly what to look for! Look over the search choices you have in their home screens to help narrow your search:
