Online Research Tools
A White Paper Link Compilation
By
Marcus P. Zillman, M.S., A.M.H.A. Executive Director – Virtual Private Library
Online Research Tools is a white paper link compilation of various online tools that will aid your research and searching of the Internet. These tools come in all types and descriptions and many are web applications without the need to download software to your computer. This white paper link compilation is constantly updated and is available online in the Research Tools section of the Virtual Private Library’s Subject Tracer™ Information Blog:
http://www.ResearchResources.info/
If you know of other online research tools both free and fee based feel free to contact me so I may place them in this ongoing work as the goal is to make research and searching more efficient and productive both for the professional as well as the lay person.
