College credible sources?

[Glirk Dient]

I am writing a paper on Syvia Plath's "Mirror". The problem is I need 2 extra credible sources that need to be included in my paper. I decided I will use both by writing about her background somehow. The only problem is I can't seem to find anything that is college acceptable as credible. Does anyone know of any online databases I can use that would be acceptable? Also note...wikipedia is not a college credible source.

not sure about your specific topic but wikipedia is a great place to get sources. even though the actual articles arent necessarily credible due to the nature of wiki's . most of them are excerpts from work that is credible and the references are usualy found at the bottom of the page. also you may want to try google scholar http://scholar.google.com/.

I have a computer though. I am too lazy to drive to any libraries to to college. Not to mention I messed my tire alignment up so I don't want to make it worse.

Right, so there's your problem. You're at college dude, and that is how you study. Online resources are too disorganised and besides online journals are rarely regarded as credible. Once you're there ( ) a decent library is a much more efficient research resource, so long as you know what you're looking for.
