Faculty/Student Related Questions:

Is this website safe to use in a classroom setting?
It most definitely is. However, like all classroom website-usage, due-diligence is required. 

I don’t allow my students to use Wikipedia as a source, why do you feature it?
While Wikipedia may not be the best suited source for a paper or assignment due to its user-generated content, it does a great job at conveying quick and organized information which really helps grasp ideas and aids in research.

A book summary search! Isn’t that cheating!?
No. Although they can give a brief chapter-by-chapter overview of a novel, they aren’t a significant source of information, especially when it comes down to specific assignments or essays. Their use is more of a quick reference, as opposed to a substitute for actually doing the course work.

Can I trust all the search results?
Yeah. Technically, Schoolr isn’t giving you results; it’s just displaying them for you. At the end of the day you have to look at each individual site and see if you trust their content.
