Research Helps


The word of the day is "impinge." (Thank you, Brian Fauver.)

Research helps:

1) To access Lexis Nexis, go to Route Y and log in. Click on "Search BYU" and type in Lexis Nexis. Click on the first hit (HBLL Accounting Page). About half way down the screen, click on "Lexis Nexis Academic" and you're in.

2) Google Scholar did NOT help me much. How about you?

3) I found www.edweek.org useful.

4) If you're doing anything Brown v. Board of ed, click this.

5) If your topic deals anything with the First Amendment, click this (Freedom Forum).

6) This is the official site of the U.S. Supreme Court. It has a place where you can search for past cases.

7) ASCD Smart briefs, Questia, and Wilson Law are all useless unless you have an account, which we don't.

Good luck,
Tim
