Electronic
resources bring a new and different set of rules to students
accustomed to using print materials. There is no
set pattern for accessing the information, the wealth of
information is overwhelming and often unreliable, and online
research findings may challenge dated textbook information. Helping students access the best
of the available online resources is a critical role
of the teacher-librarian. Before searching the
general web, students should be equipped with the skills
necessary to access the quality resources that are sometimes
hidden on the Internet.
