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.htmlBig Name Commercial Websites
www.yahoo.com
Places of Questionable Information:
Many Personal Homepages
www.geocities.comMany 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.
