These electronic sources are usually the best places to start. They are
available from the ACC library website:
http://library.austincc.edu/eresources/AtoZ.htm
Some of these electronic sources are "reference" sources (encyclopedias,
dictionaries, biographies), some are "indexes" to magazine and newspaper
articles, and some are a mix of both.

For the public World
Wide Web, it's often smart to begin by using a web directory if you have a
general topic, such as "Child Development" or "Journalism." These
directories list quality web sources that have been reviewed by a real
person. Try the directory called "Web Pages Recommended by ACC
Librarians"
(
library.austincc.edu/w3/) or Librarians' Index to the
Internet (http://www.lii.org/).

need to use a web search engine. There are hundreds of them. None of them
can do all the techniques listed below. We recommend you pick one of the
following search engines and learn it in some detail.
Google (http://www.google.com/) All the
