Struggling is the word I want to use. While we spent two weeks in library getting facts and figures on computer and software, one of my friends watched a graduating student winding down six weeks of research for a term paper and the other of us spent a day in the library to gather enough informative data for a twenty page type written articles.
My friends also noticed we weren’t any different from them. Because nobody had told us about research shortcuts, we wrestled just as long with school research and never sharpened our research strategy. By now researching has become so quick and effortless because of the presence of modern technology most specially, the Internet that we use it to find solution for personal questions, job hunting, online business, and a lot more.
After all these years, we can go right to the most valuable tools and materials almost instantly. We’ve learned to cut hours, and sometimes even days of our research time, and we’ve discovered that for certain projects, answer are found easiest outside of any library.
There are already lots of good guides on the bookshelves or library that list and explain most of the basic library reference tools. Some of these guides are hundred’s of pages long. We don’t intent to duplicate their information. Instead, we’ll share with you the techniques and shortcuts so that you can find your way like a pro to the best and fastest resources for your own projects now and then.
