Internet Information Overload!!!!

By Jean Mandernach

There is too much information on the Internet... okay, well, maybe "too much" is an overstatement, but the reality is that there is soooooo much information available that it becomes difficult to track, monitor and organize everything that is out there (and let's not even talk about trying to re-find information via hunt and peck googling...). Fortunately, there are a range of Web 2.0 tools to help you organize the online information that is relevant to your research!

Infomine - Scholarly Internet Resource Collections

By Jean Mandernach – 1 Comment

Let's face it... while we all know that the library (physical or virtual) is one of the best places to go for scholarly research, we still have a tendency to start our search by exploring the vast expands of cyberspace. While this type of "research fishing" may produce a monster hit or two, we often end up wasting valuable time jumping around on sites that are not all that helpful or scholarly. Save your time and energy... start your scholarly investigations at Infomine.

This used to be a sticking point in distance-based collaborations... but, not anymore thanks to Join.Me.
