Researching Online Versus Researching In The Library



Many students would not want to go to the library these days as the internet seems to provide everything all the information they need to know. However, online research must never be used as complete replacement to researching in the library. It must only serve as an aid to the actual legwork that you need to do for a certain project. 

The library is a well-spring of professional sources like books, encyclopedias, newspapers and other research papers. Unlike most of the information acquired online, the research data you would get from a library include names of established authors. Therefore, the credibility of such data may not be questioned. More so, you can get a hard copy of archived reading materials which are dated years back. Nothing beats the feeling of holding something that is part of history especially if the material has the signature of an important personality.


Round the clock accessibility is what the internet can offer. This is coupled by quick updates on any post. The internet is also helpful to those who preferences in the learning methodologies. Some just learn best through a combination of text and video. 

In conclusion, both kind of research is useful and may be used hand in hand to achieve the utmost results you need.

Online Classrooms vs. Physical Classrooms

Going to school means sleepless nights for learners as they do their assignments and prepare everything they need so they won't be late for class. Everyday commute is one of the tough stuff every student needs to take care of, especially if they don't have a car of their own.

There's a huge difference when it comes to virtual and traditional education. You just need to pick which one works best for you. Both allows you to ...

On Real Books And Ebooks

I may have been a fan of the traditional book, but I cannot deny the fact that I also love to read books using my Kindle especially when I travel. This offers a lot of convenience on my end because I do not need to carry a full bag of books, I just have to bring my electronic book reader with me when I  go out. :) But when I prefer to stay at home especially during weekends and holidays, I still hold a real book. That enables me to save on electricity costs as well, since I need to charge my Ebook reader so I can use it again as opposed to the traditional book . With the real one, you can just flip the pages and not worry about grabbing the charger next to you. All you need is a well lit place so you can read the contents. What about you? Which would you prefer? A real book or an electronic one?
