- miles01110, on 10/12/2007, -4/+8As much as I like the internet, for researching in higher education there is no substitute for holding the actual book, journal, or article in your own hands.
- jmontes, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6That's just a matter of time. I predict books will become obsolete in 50 years.
- Jo9100, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5To the batmobile! We're going to the Library of Congress! (yeah I know, electronic)
- kpaxer, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Good resource suggestions. Wish I had this list when I still had to write papers for any reason at all.
- catalysis, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3My favorite resource for journal articles is ISI web of science. You usually need to be on a school network or something though. Most universities subscribe.

- duggless, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3The author of this refers to the British Library as "[The British] answer to our Library of Congress" Not to be too pedantic, but the Library of Congress was established in 1800 where as the Library of the British Museum (which comprises the largest part of the British Library) was established in 1753. So while the British Library might be the equivalent of the Library of Congres, it is really the LOC which is the US answer to the British Library not the other way round.

Go Ahead Digg me down for not being American.... could you tell I was British?? - Phil246, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2You might find that your universities library provides you with access to journals via athens or similar, That should also be on the list for researching
- profJohn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2There are some good resources there, but if you're a student, your first stop should probably be your university library's webpage. Odds are that your tuition is going toward some excellent commercial databases that are far richer than the free resources.
Also, some university libraries are now offering inexpensive access to their online databases for alumni. When available, it's often a good deal. - Lambik, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Where is http://www.pubmed.gov ?

- JoeWhy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1If you're in college, chances are the library provides free access to scholarly journal databases. That's the best place to do research. In the humanities and the arts, databases such as Project Muse and JSTOR make life livable. Nothing beats referencing a cutting-edge paper that was published two to three months ago.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I have just finished surfing all of internet, and I can tell you, there is a lot out there! WOW!
