Answer to Question 1
Before using the Internet for a research project, you need to decide whether it is the right tool for your needs. The Internet is only one tool for doing research. Knowing which tool to use and when to use it is the key to obtaining quick, accurate results. Ask yourself the following questions:
What sources are needed?
Are they on the Internet?
Are they available elsewhere?
Either way, what is the cost?
How much time do you have to produce results? The availability (accessibility) of a source, what it costs, and the time it would take to use it are the basic considerations. If the Internet is the right tool for your research, you will have much at your disposal. The fee-based Lexis and Westlaw services are the dominant legal research resources on the Internet, and there are also some free services available online.
Answer to Question 2
The Web is accessed through a software program called a browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and others. These browsers can be used with any Internet service. Browsers enable computers to roam the Web. They also make it possible to copy text from Web sites and paste it into a word-processing document. With a browser, you can download images, software, and documents to your computer. Finally, with a browser you can limit your search to the document that appears in your window. This last feature is most helpful when the document is long and your time is short.
