The Internet

The Internet     The American Library Association has noted that a new perspective on library instruction is emerging that incorporates the more traditional skills of locating and using information sources with the process of learning from information. A current trend in information seeking behavior is the lack of use of traditional print sources for research, and a move toward only using Internet sources.

     Google alone is not an acceptable research tool for every purpose. There is no guarantee that the information you are retrieving from Google even comes from a reliable source. That is why it is important to educate students on how to properly use the Internet for research purposes.

This Unit covers 4 areas of Internet Research:

  1. Selecting
  2. Searching
  3. Evaluating
  4. Citing
