What is Internet? …

The Internet (PG147) The internet or net had its origin in 1969, when the computers of government, scientific and military bodies were linked. Academic and commercial bodies joined later, and eventually people began to produce information for the internet only, rather than in paper form – there are even novels that are accessible only via the internet

The Internet (PG147) The internet connects computers from all over the world, and enables you to communicate by computer directly with people in other countries. There’s no owner or central executive for the internet: it’s just a wide, interconnecting set of computers, with some organisations which try to keep it running smoothly.

Advantages of using the internet (PG147) Range of information Types of information Newspaper Government papers and data Library catalogues Sounds & voices Film & video clips Interactive pages

Incorporate the computer into study Use the computer as part of your everyday study strategies. (PG 159)

Stay organised Find Information Design materials Develop your writing Use other software

Personal example: Personally, the Internet helps me a lot with finding information, making researches… etc. Sometimes you need to do a research about something new to you or you don’t have enough knowledge about the topic, so you can use the Internet to find the information you need to do the research.

Academic resources online PG 152

Web sources for academic study For academic study, you must be very selective about your sources of information, whether these are paper-based or electronic. A number of search tools and services are available to help focus your search on reputable resources for academic study: a selection is provided in Appendix 2 (Pg 348).

The following are some key starting places when making electronic searches for books and articles. PG 152
