Secondary Resources

Writing a research paper can induce panic in even the most lion-hearted student.  You need a topic and tentative idea of how you want to develop it.  Then you need primary and secondary sources to support and build upon your topic.  I discussed options for primary sources in a previous review.  This review will discuss options for secondary sources. You cannot just use any website. Wikipedia—the much-loved free online encyclopedia— is forbidden by educators from appearing in your Works Cited page due to its unreliable creditability.
