The Internet is an important source of research for scholars of all types. Often, it is easy to find a few
sites with useful information for a given topic. However, a page's
existence on the Internet is no guarantee that its contents are
reliable. Also, it is easy to be overwhelmed by thousands of pages
resulting from a search, to find nothing relevant, or to miss sites
that would be significant for your research.
To efficiently use the Internet for academic research, it is helpful
to know how the Internet works, the different methods of searching, and how to
evaluate the relevance and reliability of what you find. This
tutorial presents techniques and resources for successfully using the
Web for academic research.
