When looking for information for a research project, some students
prefer to get their information mainly from the Internet. Others prefer to
mainly use printed materials such as books and academic journals.
Which do you prefer? Explain why.
When I do my research, I prefer getting my information from books and
journal articles rather than websites, because books and journal articles
more often have accurate information. For example, I was once
researching the fish of California for a class project. That was quite a
specific topic—who studies fish in California anyways! And so as I was
looking for information, I found quite a few blogs of people who
enjoyed fishing in California, and wrote about fishing but didn't really
know what they were saying. Some of the information was just wrong.
On the other hand, when I looked at academic journals and books about
fish in California, I found that the information was more detailed than
the websites and more accurate.
