For the papers that I have written in English 101 I have only had to use a few sources in my writing. Usually, when looking for a source I start with the library website that WSU has to offer. I find it very helpful because you can narrow your topics down so you can get exactly what you are looking for. Once I have found a source using the library website, depending on the topic of my paper I will try and find the article that is the most recent. This is a good way to go about finding sources because it will allow you to gather the most up to date information, instead of attempting to cite an article that was wrote ten years earlier. I also have found Google to be a very helpful website as well. Google has allowed me to browse through thousands of different sources to find the correct information that I’m looking for. Even though not all of the information that I find is credible I have found a lot of reliable information that has really helped in my writing. If I am not sure of whether or not a website is credible I will do a background check on the creator of the website or the author to make sure that the information I am obtaining is worth using in my work. At this point in my research I have found that I have been successful in finding credible sources, but there still is a few things that I could improve to enhance the quality of my searches. First off, I believe that even though I have been occasionally using the library as a way to find sources, I should use it as the number one place to search for sources for my essays. I could also try and stay away from the easy way out like Wikipedia and even Google as a way to effectively find sources.
