How to Research On-line

 

Many students lack the skills necessary to complete proper research.
Today’s computers make it a little easier for anyone to research.
But you can’t call research on the web easy.
On the contrary, it is often very hard to find useful information on-line.

 

Places to find Useful Information:

Library Websites

Such as The Library of Congress or http://204.17.98.73/BriLib/

School and College Websites

http://www.ric.edu/library/index.html

Big Name Commercial Websites

www.yahoo.com

 

Places of Questionable Information:

Many Personal Homepages

www.geocities.com

Many little known ".com" Websites

 

Places of "Virtually" No Useful Information:

Many Organizational Websites pushing Extremist agendas

Political Websites

 

Most of the time, when you search the web for something, you go to a Search Engine.

Preferred Search Engines

www.yahoo.com

www.dogpile.com

www.askjeeves.com

 

Other people go directly to Dictionaries, and Encyclopedias.

www.encyclopedia.com

www.dictionary.com

www.britannica.com
