Academic Journals

Many of you may already know about our fabulous databases (provided by the state). For those of you who need a refresher, click on Research above and then the top link for the Gale Databases. Academic OneFile is a fantastic database for academic and peer reviewed articles on nearly anything you can think to research. Also, you don't need to worry if the source is good or not!

For example, if you run across this website: Save the Pacific Northwest Tree Octopus

 

It looks like a very good website. 

What do you think? 

Highlight the text in white below when you're ready to find out if the tree octopus is real or not. 

The tree octopus website is a spoof website. It is often used as an example of how a website could look great, but be incorrect! 

With Gale and other databases like it, you don't have to worry about that!
