More and more people, both professional and non-professional researchers, now look to the Internet as their primary medium for locating information. In part, this transition to web-based research grows out of the inherent access problems associated with traditional print resources and the brick-and-mortar libraries that house them. In addition, the rise of new media, with its multimedia capabilities and inclusion of user-generated content, has further driven researchers of all kinds to the Internet. That said, the field of web-based research is not without its controversial and challenging aspects. These include the enormous and ever-expanding volume and variety of information available on the Internet, concerns about the reliability of web-based information, and the technical limitations of search engines and other tools used in Internet research. This TecTrends Reporter tracks a wide range of concerns related to Internet research, from news about advances in search technologies and information on new digital research tools to practical applications and strategies for doing research via the Web.
