Substance Abuse    

Quality vs. Quantity (or a Google search)
Remember that anyone can publish to the internet. One example of how easy it is for anyone to publish is Wikipedia. You and anyone else can change anything in Wikipedia that you might chose. When you use Wikipedia you should always check your facts against another "edited" encyclopedia, either in print or online. At Soquel High School we pay to have access to Grolier. See Ms. Britton to get access.

Santa Cruz Public Library offers many quality online databases. To use these database you will need your Public Library card and personal identification number (PIN). If you do not have it with you, please let me know and you can use mine.
