Need Info for Project....

[SoulReaver]

I need some websites where I can find information on North America's effect on the world's environment. Anything from pollution to endangering species would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

How much are you going to pay me for doing your research? I'll take 1.00 a website and 3.00 a scholarly article.

Don't forget tax.

What research? He's not asking you to go searching for stuff for him - he's simply asking if you know of anything. That's not research. That's called being nice to your fellow man.

He's gonna read the article, write the paper ,do the presentation, whatever. He's just asking if someone knows some good resources off the top of their head.

Sheesh. Remind me to make sure you get charged next time you have a hardware issue and someone like biggs responds to your post.

when looking at a website use this to see if its a legimate good source.

http://lib.nmsu.edu/instruction/evalcrit.html


*****BEWARE***** WIKIPEDIA - BAD SOURCE anybody can go in their and change the information, there is no peer review or anything. BAD BAD BAD



advoid .com's use .org .edu .gov

And dont forget the place known as the library they may have some really good print resources and subscriptions to academic journals.

i haven't once had a professor complain about Wikipedia and will continue to use it until told otherwise as it is one of the best sources of information available on the internet

I have had the opposite. Its has been deemed unusable. I think that the main reason for that is that there is no academic accountablity.

[BobtheCkroach]

Almost every prof I had said you couldn't use it, and probably close to half of them even included that in their syllabus. For average use, it's a very trustworthy source, but for academic work, MF is definitely right...it's completely un back-upable, as there's no review or content management going on, other than that of the userbase itself.

[SoulReaver]

Alright thanks for the sites guys. Yeah, I wasn't looking to cheat or anything.

BTW, even at my middle school we aren't allowed to use Wikipedia for papers.


EDIT: Alright, its been changed from North America to Northern Hemisphere. I got enough info on air pollution and global warming. I can't seem to find good sites for endangered animals and wild life.
