Every database, index, record, or compilation has limitations. Do you know at least one limitation for each finding aid or actual record you use? For every source you use, every database you query, every book you read–ask yourself what limitations there may be. Knowing the limitations doesn’t mean that we don’t use the item. Knowing the limitations makes us better informed users.
