Here at The Station we take our research seriously. By the time you see a question in one of our games, it has been verified up, down and backwards. Our library has some books - we still love books but, for the most part, the Internet is our No. 1 research tool. Unfortunately, our researchers would assert that most of the information on the World Wide Web is worthless.
Librarians call it Internet literacy .
When the information we need can t be found in an article or a book, we must turn to the Web. The Web is dominated by two types of sites commercial and individual. These are two of the least-reliable sources for factual information. While company sites will give you useful information about their brands, any information they provide about the industry in general can be skewed to favor their own products. However, the presence of a dot com doesn t make a site official, and sometimes student-created sites, with many of those same odd characters, can be among the best resources.
