Use of Outside Sources: You must make appropriate use of at least five reliable, college-level sources. All of your sources should be credible, scholarly preferred, and at least three must be from a database within Galileo or be scholarly books checked out from a USG library. NO ordinary dot com sites (i.e. About.com) or Wikipedia pages should be used. General encyclopedias such as Encyclopedia Britannica and Funk and Wagnalls World Book, are not college-level sources despite being in GALILEO. Specialized encyclopedias, such as The Encyclopedia of Feminist Literature, are fine.
