About the Undergraduate Research Engine
College freshmen, sophomores, and community college students: find authoritative sources appropriate for college-level work.
There are a lot of authoritative, reliable and free sources online. There is even more junk. For most college students, finding the website that are appropriate for college-level work with search engines like Google and Yahoo is a shot in the dark. The Undergraduate Research Engine is designed to help college freshman, sophomores, and community college students find authoritative sources online. It only searches sites selected by librarians from colleges and universities.
Remember that websites only supplement good research. College instructors and librarians consider web-only research a poor model. Good research includes a variety of information sources. The Undergraduate Research Engine only searches free online sites. Like other search engines, it cannot access the wealth of quality information available to you through your library’s subscription databases and print sources.
Visit your library’s website to find out what excellent information sources are available to you.
