Research Paper 2

Here are some less generalized ideas I will explore:

Digital research includes not only computer related resources, but also television and film.

How digital research can be incorporated into essays and the broad spectrum of media that can be utilized in creating digital output.


Pros of internet sources: They are the best way to cover all current events. They can be accessed almost instantly. A great multitude of sources can be sorted through with little time.

Cons of paper texts: The time it takes to acquire different materials. Limited sources at any given library.

Pros of paper texts: Valuable because many texts, especially fiction, are not found on the internet. Critical works by time tested authors suitable for a historical subject may only be found on a library shelf.

Cons of internet sources: Uncertainty of reliability of websites.

I found an educational website, http:/www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk, which has information on innumerable historical topics. It also has many links to other educational websites. I am not sure, though, how to tell if it is definitely a creditable source. This type of question is part of what I intend to discern in my paper.
