According to the announcement today, anything found on google is not a refereed source. So, when I am looking up information from the CDC on google, that does not count?! It only counts if I go through the Ohio University library. This class cannot end soon enough!

I got zapped on referreed sources too........ over half way

The CDC information should be referred, no? It's a government based site isn't it?

That only makes it credible, not referreed

Yes, exactly. I don't know how I made it this far and didn't get dinged. I just set a bookmark for the OU library and look there for all reference.

I have a heck of a time using that darn library! There was recent webinar but I missed it. I think it's recorded. I love google and I'm admittedly lazy to learn the ins and outs of the library. I guess I'd better learn. Sigh...

To the right, on top is the link to click on to search journals. I love google and I missed the webinar. Hopefully, the info I get there is good enough to satisfy a most particular TA.

this is the library link I use.

Once I search the data base and find an article from the list I want to look at I "click on" it to read the abstract"

Look for JOURNAL SUBSET (it's the 9th bolded word on the left). That's where you will find the information you need. Credible and Referred sources will be peer reviewed.Example below.

Journal Subset - Core Nursing; Double Blind Peer Reviewed; Expert Peer Reviewed; Nursing; Online/Print; Peer Reviewed; USA
