Library Research What Can I Access from Off-Site? Anything on the Library Web Access page! At Your Local Library Face-to-face reference help Other General Humanities/Social Science Databases Social Science Index/Abstracts PsychInfo Arts & Humanities Citation Index

Internet Research Overrated and Overdone But It Cannot Be Ignored Be Very Careful to Evaluate Internet Sources Unmediated Transitory Search Engines vs. Subject Index Sites

Internet Research Search Engines Google, Yahoo!, Alta Vista, etc. Search all web content False hits, excessive hits Best for very specific search terms

Internet Research Subject Index Sites Assembled Net Resources in a Subject Area and therefore mediated Pre-Organized Best for more general searching

Identifying Subject Index Sites With search engines topic + “resources” topic + “metasites” topic + “pathfinder” (for print resources, too)

Identifying Subject Index Sites Wabash Center Internet Guide guide_headings.aspx guide_headings.aspx Finding God in Cyberspace htm htm Virtual Religion Index Voice of the Shuttle

Use Your Librarian! Never hesitate to ask. Presume! Impose! Be open and communicative. Explain what you’re doing and how you intend to use the information you seek. Give feedback. Let them know whether the resources they gave you helped or not.
