- @Sm8900: Seems good; I largely use these two to find sources so I can't really suggest anything else. Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 03:10, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
- @Iazyges: okay, but that's totally fine. in that case, could you please explain how to use them? any details you add would be fine. it could be as simple as simply saying which books or publications you most refer to on Google Books, and which journals, primary sources, etc you most use on JSTOR. seriously, to me, both these sites are simply a labyrinth when it comes to finding actual sources. so any specifics that you could add would be highly useful. the rest of us know little or nothing about which specific published works to actually utilize at these two sites, including myself. thanks!! --Sm8900 (talk) 03:58, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
