Why Use Library Resources?

Results you retrieve from Google searches are found on the surface web where information is not evaluated. Results from library databases are found on the deep web where information is evaluated. With Google searches you're finding only the tip of the iceberg.

Library databases help you find information that has been vetted and checked for accuracy. Also, library databases help you find articles that you can't find via Google.

Find Articles

Library OneSearch - use Library OneSearch when seeking interdisciplinary research. Click Newspapers to retrieve those since they don't appear in standard Library OneSearch results. For example, search "Royal Oak, Michigan" racial to find articles on racial incidents in Royal Oak.
