Information is everywhere. However, finding correct information is increasingly difficult. Using Google to find information is ok, as long as you understand the limitations of the information you are receiving. Searching Google for "Best Pizza" will return a list of pizza places in Bloomington...because Google already knows where you are and anticipates what you mean, that you are looking for a pizza restaurant.
When you need information for research papers you need to use scholarly databases. Scholarly Databases (like JSTOR, EBSCO and many others) provide researchers with access to peer-reviewed articles. This guide has a link to several such databases under the "Research Articles" tab to the left.
