Analogous to the book’s discussion of scarcity is the scarcity of the very best resources for students. 702 308 1282 Many of the real, authoritative sources that professors want to see from their students exist away from the publicly accessible internet. One example of this is GALILEO, Georgia’s online library which contains over 100 subscription and non-subscription databases with access to over 2000 authoritative full-text journal titles (University System of Georgia 2009). Most of these resources are only available through institutions, not on the open internet. Because they (or or at least knowledge of them) are scarce, and the level of concentration and critical thinking required to understand them is high, these resources are often overlooked by students in pursuit of a quick answer, however authoritative it may be. The contrasting cases of Wikipedia and GALILEO suggest that the book’s discussion of scarcity is appropriate and the conclusions are correct.
