"Online Resources" means anything you found in the library's collection of subscription databases, like Grolier or Encyclopedia Britannica Online.

Try limiting your Google search to reputable websites by limiting your search to specific domains. For this assignment, I suggest that you limit your web searches to .edu or .org websites. In front of your search terms, add the following text:

site:edu    OR    site:org

Some examples:

site:edu plato
site:edu hippocrates
site:org thucydides
