Research........

Who doesn't need to do a bit of good research every now and again. Luckily, the internet has made research more rapid.

When I am trying to find out information, I usually start at Wikipedia.org. While, this is a good place to start, the information in Wikipedia can be altered by the general public, so it is not very credible. However, it does list useful links to other creditable sites.

Another good place to turn is The New York Public Library's online database. The search function allows you to select certain databases to search. There is also an advanced search function.

An excellent site to visit for information is the Education Resources Information Center website, or ERIC.

This online database also provides users the option to set up a free account that allows them to customize the site.

And of course, after looking through all of the online databases, who couldn't use a good dictionary, theasaursus, or online translator.
