Research shows that the majority of students do not have sufficient knowledge of how to conduct research effectively. Most often they use Google, Youtube and Wikipedia for their academic papers. They judge the results at the top of the research result page usually good enough. They do not realize that the Google results are not necessarily the most reliable resources.

Aids for students to conduct research more successfully include:
 * 1) Recognize the need for information. Assignment should include:
 * length
 * bibliography
 * topic
 * resources
 * 1) Develop a strategy for finding it.
 * 2) Know when to stop.
 * 3) Use of alert services.
