How using websites might be beneficial to use in research for your major
Think of how using websites might be beneficial to use in research for your major or, if undecided, in a class you are enjoying right now. Can you think of a scenario when using websites over books and articles is better? Why shouldn’t you just rely on Wikipedia? Why do you think some professors want you to steer clear of websites?
The Internet is a useful tool for research because it gives access to a wide range of material, makes it easier for researchers to communicate and work together, and makes it possible to employ online research tools. Websites can provide valuable evidence to support your discussion, just like books or journal articles. For instance, many authoritative sources such as academic institutions, government and research bodies, or charities use the internet to make important data available as quickly and freely as possible.
