While it may be tempting to use the Internet as your first source of information, it is not always the best place to look for quality information. A great deal of information on the Internet is unverified therefore the information is suspect at best. If you do decide to use the Internet we will give you some pointers that will help you choose quality sites.

Books and periodicals (magazines and journals) are frequently your best choice as they go through a quality control process that most web sites do not. Furthermore, the Internet makes for an inefficient research tool because it is organized very poorly and much of the information found there is biased or useless.
