Research, Ives-style

Whenever I’m cramming to finish up a research paper, I tend to turn to Google for answers.  I’d take a few minutes to scavenge as many links as possible and then narrow down my sights on the content of each webpage.  However, if it’s required, I’d tend to go turn to the library as my LAST priority mainly because the internet consists of many resources that printed books have to offer as well.  In addition, I’d generalize my search in order to get a broader sense of the topic, and then start adding the keywords that I pick up along the way.  The ‘Find’ function helps a lot while skimming through articles because it automatically brings you to the words you’re trying to find.  In any other case, I’d usually ask my professor or teacher for some insight on alternative sources of information.
