The tools of research will always be useful no matter where you go in life. The fact is, a lot of the sites you find could have been created and written by anyone, so they are not always good sites to get information from. EbscoHost is a database of scholarly (peer reviewed) articles.

In your paper, you will be required to use scholarly articles. This exercise will show you how to find them, how to paraphrase properly and how to give proper credit to the author of the article.
