Using the Internet for Research

Do you start your research on the Internet? If so, you're not alone. Internet search engines are fast, easy, and familiar. But, using a search engine to find scholarly material for a research paper can be a daunting task.

Literary criticism written by experts is even harder to find on the Internet.You will need to look in books and journals to find scholarly material on your novel. IRSC library resources are the best place to find this material.

Use the Internet with caution! The Internet can be a a quick and easy way to find information about your novel, but you need to know who authors or sponsors the website before using it as a source.

DO NOT use these sources for your paper:

Book reviews - Cliffnotes -

Monarch Notes - SparkNotes - Wikipedia
