Why Use a Database? Anyone can create an internet site. – It can be true. – It can be fake. You have to verify internet information. – Who is the author? – Does the site want to provide information, or sell something? – When was it last updated?
27
Databases Provide thousands of articles from journals, newspapers, or books. The information is more accurate. Many articles are peer-reviewed. Your instructor prefers database articles to internet sites.

More about Citations Since you are using APA, your paper will contain in-text citations. You will list the bibliographies for the sources you used on a separate sheet of paper titled Resources.
64
Citations Each time you use someone else’s words or ideas, you must provide a citation to give credit to that person. As you type your paper, you will use an in-text citation, using the last name of the author of the article, and the page number, if given, in parentheses. Ex. (Logan 214) For each citation, you will provide a corresponding bibliography.
65
If You Need Help with Research Call the KC Library and speak to a librarian. Come to the KC Library and speak with a librarian. Use the Ask-A-Librarian email service from the home page.
