Milk These Information
Resources for Free!
Bill Meltzer- Worthington Libraries
Chris May- Mansfield/Richland County Public
Library
Why look for alternatives?
• Shrinking reference collections
• Pricing model for databases is different
• Shrinking budgets
• OPLIN provides fantastic databases but usage
is down
• Can we supplement those resources?
But it can’t be just anything!
• Remember the basics in evaluating websites
– Coverage
– Objectivity
– Author/Publisher/Organization
– Currency
– Accuracy
