On the Web
|
What resources are available on the web? |
|
| Materials online, particularly primary sources, can sometimes supplement
library collections. But much information on the web (especially secondary
material) is available in print in a more reliable form, with the footnotes
and references missing online. If you use the web, use it critically. Ask
who put up a site and why. There is a huge amount of tendentious or misleading
material out there, since just about anyone can post. And do not let surfing
swallow up your time. |

Gateways for history of science |
|
| Gateways are lists of sites relevant to a given domain, usually organized
and sometimes vetted. Because someone has already done the work of weeding
out bad sites, they can be quicker than a standard search engine, and they
give you a better chance of hitting reliable material.
