That's what the instructor advised us... refer to Wikipedia only for basic, starting information.
In "Professional Journalism and Research," I got a very high grade on my MLA format "research paper" on the "evolution and development of the human brain".
Pulled those "peer reviewed" texts I cited straight from Google Books / Amazon. It would've been the very same, had I borrowed the books from the actual library. In fact, it cut straight through to *THE* books I needed for my report.

If I had been asked for *THE* books I cited.. I suppose I could've obtained them through interlibrary loan...
