ENGL 1211-006: First-Year Writing, Legacy of the Mediterranean II (Lynn)

Using reference sources like encyclopedias can be a great way to find overviews (these can also be cited in your paper). There's a list of reference sources for your class at this link. A lot of these are available online through CLIO.

In Wikipedia, check the references list on an entry to trace the source and look for credible information you can cite.

You can use Google to a general sense of keywords and concepts. Try Google Advanced Search for more options like searching within one domain (like .gov or .edu sites only).
