Everything you could ever want to know about online research has been organized into multiple charts on http://www.mogadore.net/portal/search.html.

I have been looking for material on research for N., especially on-line types of research, in order for us to think about the benefits and pitfalls of this most powerful tool.

Thanks for posting this to COH!

Research is always a struggle for me. So anything that will help me is a lifeline I’ll gladly grab.

Thanks for the recommendation. I’ll be using the 2facts database, via my local library’s online resources, to pull up material for our homeschool program. There seems to be a lot available on ancient civilizations, one of our current topics.

I also like your systematic approach to covering a subject. I’ll keep that in mind.

Thank you, Sandra

I’m at my local public libraries 5 days a week to tutor students, and I do research while I’m there. Lately, my best research sources have been reading multiple books from different viewpoints about one subject. Right now, the subjects are censorship, home office and debt freedom.

One of my favorite research sites is http://www.2facts.com.

Thanks for such a great resource!

You’re welcome.

By the way, I put those kid search engine links on my son’s Favorite’s list to make it easy for him to do his own research. The next time he asks one of those why-is the-sky-blue questions, I’ll direct him to his computer.

It’s never too early to learn research skills!

Wow! A workshop given by the Pen on Fire author sounds like a great opportunity for developing your writing.

Thanks for the HighBeam recommendation. I was tempted to sign up, but I’m reluctant to pay $29/month or $199/year. However, it could be cost effective if it replaces paper subscriptions. I’ll definitely consider it in the future.

Evan,

I share your research problem, but sometimes going off tangent is so very rewarding!
