Sixty-three million Americans use the Internet for academic research, and nearly as many use it for work-related research, says a study by the Pew Internet & American Life Project. Among experienced computer users, according to the UCLA Center for Communication Policy, the Internet now ranks as more important than television, radio, magazines, newspapers, and even books as an information source. Too bad the browsers they use to gather their information are such weak research tools. This is a review by PC Magazine on 8 research tools. This has been added to my Online Research Tools White Paper Link Compilation and my Online Research Browsers Annotated White Paper Link Compilation. Both of these are available as well as other of my white papers on information retrieval and information extraction at WhitePapers.us. This has also been added to the research tools section of Research Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.
