If you mean a bib the students can consut, yes that would be useful.  If you
literally mean canned papers, certainlly not.  They'll just turn those in
as theri work without doing any actual writing.
Every semester, I catch several students turning in plagerized work, and the libraarin
here is considering making up a list of all the papers she knows students can
buy via the internet.  Any more, I'm suspcious about any paper about
Hapeper Lee, Poe, and other writers I doubt they read.
Anyway, it might be more useful, as Taylor suggested, to refer them to Rasmussen,
the Encylopeia, and maybe a bib with subsections of more narrow topics.
