			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, the secret is out. I love information and I like having control over information. I want to be able to learn what I want when I want. I don&#8217;t think there is any merit in memorizing useless facts, so I rely on the internet and various sources of electronic information to always be there for easy access.</p>
<p>In order to access useful information online I have learned that the following are important:</p>
<p><strong>Purpose: </strong>Have a focus in mind</p>
<p><strong>Use appropriate search databases:</strong> Google is not always the answer.</p>
<p><strong>Search skills:</strong> Know how to write search terms and change them based on results.</p>
<p><strong>Analyze information:</strong> Know what information is useful and useless.</p>
<h4>The following websites help me get the information that I want.</h4>
<ul>
<li>How to <a href="http://www3.widener.edu/Academics/Libraries/Wolfgram_Memorial_Library/Evaluate_Web_Pages/659/" target="_blank">evaluate a website</a></li>
<li>Search <a href="http://www.mamma.com" title="mamma" target="_blank">multiple search engines</a> at once</li>
<li>Retrieve <a href="http://www.archive.org/index.php" title="Internet Archive">archived information</a> from the internet. Including web pages that have been taken down but you still want to visit.</li>
</ul>
