WWW Resources
These are suggested starting points for finding resources on the World Wide Web. While you may wish to use general search engines for your search, you might more profitably begin with indexes of literary sites, such as the Voice of the Shuttle , the Univ. of Pennsylvania's excellent On-Line Literary Research Tools, or the other sources listed below. Check out the Virtual Reference Desk for a huge set of links to dictionaries, encyclopedias, newspapers, and other information sources.
Please note that as researchers you are obligated to keep track of the sources of your information. Any web sources that you use for research projects must be properly cited and quoted; please consult your writing handbook for assistance. If you are new to web browsing, check out the excellent guide to web searching by Terry A. Gray.
