Tip
The fastest way to find good-quality, free resources is to use the library databases and catalog. Use Google Scholar as a backup, only if you are unable to find enough information in the library. Google Scholar adds additional steps to your online search: you must not only filter through many results to find an article you want, but you then must check to see if the Moorpark College library databases index the article. Then you have to check to see if the indexing includes a full-text option.
