Research is messy. Information does not equal knowledge. Your minds create the knowledge after thinking about the information, comparing with other information, synthesizing it, evaluating it, creating your own voice. A research paper is not a bunch of other people's words strung together. Time, time, time .
Computerized databases can speed up a search.
However, now that research is no longer confined to the walls of a library, often you will find much more information than you can use. One trip to the library is never enough. Research often raises more questions than it answers. It should, in fact.
