Whatever else the internet may be, it is also the greastest search engine for the greatest mass of information ever assembled in the history of mankind, and never before has such a wealth of information been so easily assessable.
It is true that anybody can put up anything they want on the net, as I am doing now, and a lot of it cannot be trusted for accuracy. Nevertheless, there are many organizations with websites dedicated to the truth. Wikipedia is mostly good; it most certainly will give you enough information to begin to search in other areas. Also, many libraries have websites that can be acsessed either on premises or remotely, with links to many types of academically based search engines like J-stor, World Cat, or Academic Search Premier that contain searchable links to many peer-reviewed articles.
If you use Google, beware! But many things from college sites can be found that way. Look for .edu after the link; those are usually your safer bets. Happy hunting to all.
