Finding the Information You Need

June 15, 2006 by Lillie 

The Internet is filled with information, but the challenges are finding what you need among the millions of Web sites, then determining if the information you find is reliable.

And researching in the library can be overwhelming if you don’t know where to begin.

Your Information Center offers a free report on how to do research, both in the library and on the Internet, and how to evaluate the information you find.

The report includes three detailed case studies and more than 50 resources in the library and on the Internet.

Whether you’re gathering background material for a writing project, researching your family history, or just satisfying your curiosity, you will benefit from Finding the Information You Need – Research Tips for Your Family, Business, or Personal Pursuits.

Lillie,
I agree with you that searching for information on the internet can be tedious. I have used the internet for over 15 years for research and it has gotten almost as time consuming as going to the library due to the growth of the internet.

Thanks,
Richard Anderson

Richard,
There’s just so much more information in existence today—not just on the Internet.
