OSU Libraries subscribes to many licensed resources. These resources are a good place to start for many types of research, but they are only a few of the resources to which the Libraries subscribes. If you are researching on the internet at large, please be aware that there are an increasing number of poorly researched and/or AI-generated reports, data, and analysis available. You should carefully scrutinize any and all resources you are considering using. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me with any questions as you begin your research.
