Sorry to tell you the truth but the internet has more crap than good,
and a lot of good stuff are only available on paper or subscription
only web sites.
I wish everything was on the internet but the reality is very far from
it. Good library search engines, good online editions of journals and
databases are the best tools when it comes to research but the online
journals often cover only recent dates and I often have to run to
libraries and put money into xerox machines to get a copy of articles,
etc. Very often, I spend hours searching databases and come up with no
concrete info as to where to look next. An email to a competent
librarian, with all bits of incomplete reference info, can sometimes
find exactly what I was trying to find. I wish I could digitize her
brain to put into my hard drive.
Knowledge is expensive, despite how it should be.
