Finding sources to meet your needs

The type of content you need is probably different from the sources you are required to use for a research paper, since your end result is going to be a completely different format. In this case, the internet might be a fine place to find reliable information! Internet sources can be especially useful in informing you about your topic when you don't know a lot about it yet.

You are looking for factual information, not controversial news topics, so the likelihood of finding false content about pavilions is low.
Information on the internet might not be evaluated, but as you continue to research, you will be able to confirm validity.
Websites might not be updated regularly. This won't be an issue for older structures, but they might miss newer constructions.
You do not have to wade through tons of irrelevant/unknown results - Professor Smith has already found reliable web pages, and there are more websites linked below!
