Library -vs- Internet

Conducting research online is different from conducting research in a traditional library in several ways. The first to come to my mind is that there is more foot work involved in traditional research in a library. You need to go up and down aisles and checking the card catalog, then returning to your table to page through multiple volumes in search of one simple fact. Whereas on the internet you simply go to a search engine, key in your topic and hit search. Credible information can be difficult to find. However, on the internet you can be sure to get the most up to date information on your topic. Educational sites are sometimes updated daily with current information. Libraries, on the other hand tend to have dated resources that are sometimes decades old.

(remember that everything you read on the internet is true)
