This is not to say that there are not good sources on the internet, in fact a Google search might turn up some of the same articles.  The difference is, that it will be easier to access the text of those articles.  The databases often have links to the articles, and when they don't they have Find It @ Ball State.

Just click on the Find It button and it will help you locate the text for articles.

Here are some links to resources to help you evaluate sources.
