Please cite your sources in the text of your paper, whenever and wherever you use information from another author. You can choose which one you use, but use it consistently. You can catch a lot of careless errors by doing so. I will look at your papers for evidence of this. If you are unsure what a peer-reviewed journal is, let me know.
Encyclopedias are too general to be used for anything other than background information.
Use no more than one in either paper or electronic form. Only one will be counted toward the minimum number of sources. This will help you determine whether a particular web site is likely to be a reliable source. Use the interlibrary loan service to obtain articles, books and other material not available in the SJC library. The button may be found at The Button Hole .
