So what to tell the students?
• Evaluate resources
• When using Wikipedia – fact check it with other sources
• Compare all resources – search broadly

What should we ask of commercial databases?
• Links – both internal ones and external ones to bibliographic resources and sound files
• More frequent updates, especially for artist/composer death dates.
• All articles should be signed – demonstrating the responsibility for scholarship.
