| Using NC WiseOwl |
 |
 |
 |
| PASSWORD: wiseowl Do not capitalize. Do not space. |
| Tip #1 Choose Professional Zone: it will probably have more materials to use. |
| Tip #2 Select Magazines from the upper left-hand corner. Magazines cover more topics than newspapers and are reliable. |
| Tip #3 Don't forget the password (wiseowl). Be ready to click Proceed twice. |
| Tip #4 Use the keyword search and search for "articles with text only" so the search will access only articles that are right there, that you won't have to look up. |
| Tip #5 Since sources from the last 15 years are preferred, it might be a good idea to limit the search by clicking "after" and changing the year to 1991. |
| Tip #6 If your search generates too many results, narrow it by adding more key words or by putting phrases in quotes. |
