Temple Libraries is proud to present “To Google or Not to Google”, an informative session that discusses the pros and cons of using the world’s largest search engine.
Google provides fast but often ineffective results. Will you really impress your professor by citing a Wikipedia article as a source for a research paper? In this session a Temple University Librarian will discuss the pros and cons of using Google for academic research. Discover how to just as quickly access more appropriate sources without over relying on Google. This session will cover a new open source Wiki alternative, as well as some of the more traditional reference tools that have been digitized for easy web access.
Location: TECH Center 205-A
Time: 1-2 PM
Dates: 10/1, 10/7
