What are good research sites?

Here are some really good general reference sites:

http://www.studygs.net/

http://infomine.ucr.edu/reference/

http://home.istar.ca/~obyrne/

http://www.ipl.org/

http://lii.org/

http://www.itcompany.com/inforetriever/

I also have lists of links for subject specific research, that I keep for my students. I’m not going to post them all for you here, since that would be information overload for you. 🙂 Let me know if you need more specific information.

If you need help, make sure you talk to your librarian. He or she should be able to help you find reliable sites for research.

You can always Google information, but Wikipedia has plenty of information for research. Just realize that it isn’t necessarily a reliable source because information can be posted by anyone, and statistics and history may not be accurate. Otherwise, there is no one good site for research, because each site is devoted to particular study – may it be history, biology, chemistry, etc.

Don’t worry about preparing for the upcoming school year – you’ll do fine. Good luck sophomore year. 🙂
