Q. Can I use Google for my research?

Check with your instructor (or the assignment sheet) before using websites for your research. 

There will be times when using search engines like Bing, DuckDuckGo, and Google will be your best bets for your research. 

Scenarios where you might need to use Google instead of the library resources: 

• When you need to find online magazine or news content that hasn't been indexed by a database yet. 
• When you need to get an initial understanding of the topic (use Google to collect keywords to use when searching, etc.) 
• When you are looking for blog post content (maybe your instructor wants you to find opinions about a topic)
