Missouri University
Library Research Guide
“Despite its wonderful features, Google must not be
used exclusively—Google freely admits the 50% of
its searches come back with no appropriate
results. Not everything is available on the surface
web. This has to do with money and/or copyright.
If you need scholarly information from reputable
sources, you should use the high-quality electronic
and print resources in the library.”
Bhullar, Goodie, et al. Library Research. Columbia, MO: University of Missouri Columbia,
2005.
