In many of your college courses, you will be asked to use scholarly (or peer-reviewed) resources. In this context, "Scholarly" means that an article was written by an expert in that field, and published. Most, but not all, scholarly resources go through what's known as "Peer Review", which is the process of putting an author's work through the scrutiny of other scholars & experts in their field.
There are scholarly books, but most often, your professor will be expecting you to use an article that was published in a peer-reviewed journal. But where to find these scholarly journal articles? Beeghly Library provides access to hundreds of scholarly articles through its many academic databases.
You can also search for journal articles right from the library's home page using the main search bar search!
