Research
The internet is a useful tool to use for research. Keep in mind that not every site on the internet provides valid information. Choose cites that are credible for performing research on the web. When in doubt, cross check your information with another website. The internet can provide you with a vast amount of knowledge. Resources such as magazines newspapers and journals often offer much information, but to view all of the articles you may need a subscription. You will not usually find journals, non-fiction books, and all newspapers.
