With the access to internet and information today, it makes it a lot easier for college students to get the wrong information when doing research. When a student is asked to do research on an assignment, the first instinct is to google the topic. Within those search results is Wikipedia. It's a great source because of the amount of information that is given, the problem with Wikipedia is the things that are on the site aren't all facts because anyone can edit and write down what they think is true.
Students first choice isn't the library because getting to a library and going through books isn't the most convenient way for anyone doing research.
With the availability of information going around on the internet, things that are posted can't always be trusted. You never know whats true, whether it be the news, politics, and what people post on forums.
