Research Methods |
The Internet was originally developed to promote and share research information. The Internet continues to grow at rates beyond any original expectations. Growth is not always positive, information found on the Internet may not be factual. When doing research, document your sources and try to verify the information is accurate. Universities have online resources including online periodicals and articles for their staff and students. Below are links to improve your research techniques and web sites.
