In addition, we use the Internet, but there are special problems associated with its use that we have to consider. We cannot assume that everything that is on the Internet reflects truth. Unless the Internet is simply used to order refereed material, there is no guarantee of the veracity of what is offered. Moreover, there is no guarantee that information that is at a particular site currently will be there in the future and be accessible to a reader checking our references. Therefore, material taken from Internet sources should be used with extreme caution.
Indices can be very useful.
Many of these indices use the library of congress subject headings for generating search vocabulary. One should not forget that libraries also contain, bibliographies, guides to microfiche and microfilms in print as well as much of the microfiche itself. In the library, users will find almanacs, annual reports, annotated guides, transactions' proceedings, directories and a host of other reference materials such as data bases, government publications, international publications and their indices. Ask the reference librarian for help. Students should consider that it is virtually inevitable that they will have to use consortium libraries for getting access to some of the materials for the literature review and some of them will have to go out of Worcester for information.
