You should be using scholarly and peer-reviewed sources for your report. The UBC Library’s search tool Summon is a great place to start. Much like Google provides a single entry to the internet, Summon provides a single point to find and access the majority of the UBC Library collections.

- Looks across all disciplines, so it can be very useful when you’re not really sure where to start looking or have an interdisciplinary topic
- It’s very helpful when looking for a specific book or article
