Wikipedia is great but i dont want to depend on 1 site.

Is there any other sites?

in Sweden we have got some sites where u can put up assignments u have done.

it's called mimersbrunn and mvgplus, i always go there and use some papers as facts to my assignment.

Pubmed
Web of science

You'll need to pay for it though or use the license of your college.

Since I am out of school, Uni library and online catalogues...

When I was in school, I tried to do some proper research, sometimes Wikipedia was enough, but you have to be careful, there's alot of bullshit on it ... which sometimes looks true

Use wikipedia to get an overview and then use the sources for that wikipedia article to point you to legitimate peer-reviewed sources.

Always check to see if a source you want to use is "Peer Reviewed" which means that other people that are experts in the subject an article is about have looked it over to verify it's factual content and conclusions.

Never take anything on Wikipedia as hard fact since it is not a peer reviewed publication. Consider it as probably fact.
