Quickly, you get hundreds of links to go to for your topic. Also, included in this list will be sites that have no relevance to your topic and could be offensive to you personally, in porn sites. After going to these links you can narrow your search to even be more specific by clicking on more links within the original links for the key word. It sounds confusing but it is easy. The most difficult part is narrowing down the links you want to access.
Libraries seem to be much more difficult to find information in.
The number of resources available on a particular topic is usually less than what you can find when using the internet. You have to go through many books, which takes hours to find just the right information you are looking for, when you could do it in just minutes using your computer and a search engine. This causes disappointment, wastes time, and is frustrating. Another way online information is being used over libraries is the real-time factor. Online research is much more current.
