Is it true? It can be hard to know if what you read online is true. One way to find more reliable information is to use the library’s online resources - with articles compiled from relevant encyclopedias, handbooks and reference resources, as well as print publications like newspapers and magazines. Log in to these resources from home (except where noted “In-library use only”) with your library card and PIN numbers. Learn more about using these resources by clicking “View our tutorial!” where available in the descriptions below.

For more tips on how to determine what’s reliable, read our blog post on evaluating information sources.
