Easy research

An ENG 1010 class has an assignment to write "a multi-paragraph essay over this idea of making a personal connection to music." They'll need to use the lyrics from songs that have had an impact on their lives. Our print and online resources don't have much in the way of current lyrics. Students will need to go out on the wild web to find  lyrics.  Finding lyrics isn't that difficult on the web. Type in the title, first line, or performer and thousand of sites are pulled up. We do have a Library guide for Evaluating websites. However, since the song is known, it won't take long to see if the web site content is accurate. If only all research was that easy to verify.
