Nathan is beginning college after working in sales for ten years and enjoying the challenge. In his English class, Nathan has been assigned a research paper. The paper must have at least eight sources, including a minimum of two books, two periodical articles, one newspaper article, and one authoritative Internet source. From his instructor’s suggested topics, Nathan has chosen a subject that interests him. However, when he goes to the library, panic sets in. Nathan has not been in a library in ten years and has no idea where to begin. 

You find a worried Nathan in the front of the library. Please make Nathan a list of which databases are available in your library for books, periodicals, and newspapers and give him suggestions for using them efficiently. You will also need to suggest a search engine or two he might use to find an Internet article and explain to Nathan how to tell if it’s “authoritative.”
