Learn how to research online…
Cameron Chapman (who is one of our favorite writers about things online) recently wrote an outstanding article for the Webdesigner Depot website entitled How to Find Anything Online: Become an Internet Research Expert. He notes:
…with the Internet, almost anything you could ever want to know is at your fingertips. You just have to learn how to access it.
We agree wholeheartedly and have found this to be the case. We blogged three years ago this month about the American Library Association’s Best Free Reference Web Sites.
Mr. Ms. Chapman’s article gives tips and sites that, while they will not make you an immediate expert at research, will enable you to expand and practice your search technique. It is a definite keeper!

Mea Culpa! Gender corrected, with apologies for our incorrect assumption. Stop by any time!

I agree. Everything you need to know is at your fingertips, however not many people know this. They are on the internet everyday but still know nothing. If everyone realized that then they wouldn’t be asking other people questions and thats what makes the internet go around. Thank god they all have realized yet!
