Introduction

The Internet is potentially a powerful and valuable research tool, but the sheer volume of information now available challenges students with the need for quality control. Research on the Internet is a guide to the discovery of scholarly, academic and essentially non-commercial materials.

This module is designed to assist you to:

  • find freely available, quality material on the Internet
  • identify and locate specialist services across a broad range of subject areas
  • locate and assess subject-specific Internet resources
  • evaluate Internet Resources for academic purposes

Students who require basic introduction to the use of Search Engines and Search Directories are invited to access the Library's Information and Technology Training Unit (ITTU) web page for details of face to face (onsite) training sessions and copies of training handouts available in pdf (Adobe Acrobat) format.
