To Use Or Not to Use?

Thinking

My professor says I can't use Web sources for my paper.

Ask your professor to clarify this, because there are at least 'two Webs.'

  • the "public web" that search engines find


    • and

  • the "invisible web," such as web sources the library buys that only the Ohio University community can use. This part of the web will be "invisible" to non-OU community members.

An article you find using an online article index such as Historical Abstracts also exists in a journal in print. It's just delivered via the Web by the library to facilitate research.
