This document discusses using libraries and the internet for research. It defines research as a systematic process of finding answers to questions or discovering new facts. Libraries house books, journals, and other resources that users can access to gain knowledge and solve problems. While the internet provides fast access to vast amounts of information, not everything is online and quality control is lacking. Both libraries and the internet have strengths as research tools, so most people recommend using both resources for comprehensive research.
