Hi everyone:

I have a difficult time helping my students understand that book
chapters and websites are generally inappropriate references for
literature reviews or research papers.  I don't mind students who obtain
online copies of scholarly psychology articles, but I have a lot of
students who will just want to do a Google search to find potential
references for papers.  I have adopted a policy of allowing students to
only use websites that contain online copies of scholarly articles and
this has been met with resistance even after explanations have been
offered (procrastination is a major factor as a lot of students wait
until too late in the semester to obtain articles through ILL and thus
rely on websites).  What are your policies for the types of references
that students can use in literature reviews?  Do you allow websites or
other online references?  

Rod
