How is the scholarly information you found in the library different from the typical information you find when you Google a leadership concept?

 

The scholarly material found in the library vs. that found by searching the internet is more inclusive and accurate.  The library provides scholarly material that cannot be found on the internet. Students should be cautious about the scholarly information found on Google. Although Google does provide some scholarly journals, not all the journals found on Google are true. Google can only provide some relative information to begin researching a topic but should not be used as the final source.
