Abstract

Collecting information to describe, to analyze, and ultimately to reach a conclusion about human development is what historians do. One of the most important ways students learn this process is the research paper. It is true that the growth of the World Wide Web and the availability of other electronic resources have made research easier for many students and certainly have made primary materials more accessible than ever before. But have such modem technical advances actually rendered the educational process easier and less time consuming? Or does the very power of the technology not only create new problems but also exacerbate old ones?
