But perhaps the idea here (which I really feel given that I've guided and graded about 40 thirty-page writing projects in the past 2 years) is that researchers will gravitate too quickly toward one information source (namely, Google). I probably will soon require students to cite at least 5 or 10 books, just to keep them from JUST getting information from e-sources.
