Google and Wikipedia: Inconceivable!
• Google searching is useful but not for conducting research for a college paper
• Search Topics in Google tend to produce too many results.
• Wikipedia is not always accurate and can be very unreliable, particularly on controversial subjects
• Wikipedia is not a source Professors accept for research papers
