I use the internet. Such a wealth of information at your fingertips! I do alot of geneaology and started before the internet was widespread, So I would order microfilm and spend hours at the library going through it. The net has afforded me so much info on my family, plus I can lock into what others have found.

I was in college 11 years ago, and back then, it was off to the library. But now, everything is available online if you know where to look. I might end up at the library to do additional reading on something, but it seems like you could do just about any project on the net.

yeah I agree. Huge info is filed and keep on being filed online we can just search any topics we wanted.. and I think one problem I see for online articles is the possibilty that one particular research is bogus or have factual errors. thnks for the response

I'll go first to the internet because I don't have time to go to the library, it's kind of far from the places that I use to go. It happens a lot that I only use Internet for a project.

I see, well libraries used to have complete resources nowadays, but in terms of how convenient and how easy to gather data on a certain problem 'internet' has the edge. isnt it?
