Answer to Database Trivia question # 4

The correct answer is "All of the Above."

The best source to start looking for the most authoritative information is catalog where you can find information about the books and encyclopedias on a particular topic.

The second best source will be magazines or journals. To access the magazine/journal articles from home you can go to the web page @ http://www.osterhout.lib.pa.us/ and then click on the POWER library icon. POWER library provides access to various databases covering various subject areas. If you need pictures, photographs and fact sheets, you can try AP Multimedia . If you need detailed articles, go to EBSCO Animals and conduct the search.

Information can also be found on the Internet, however you must be careful about the authority of the publisher. Usually, sites with domain name . edu, .net, .org., and .gov, etc. are considered more reliable than sites with a domain name .com.
