The Internet.
The Web is a wondrous place, full of sources beyond imagination for the study of sociological issues.  However, two issues must be kept in mind for successful integration of web sources into serious scholarly work.  One is that in the same way that one must be careful to note the authorship and publishers of materials in print or traditional electronic format, the source of Internet materials is very important.  And the second is that it is always worthwhile to explore non-net sources, and to be sure that net searches are comprehensive.  One good way to do this is talk with subject and reference librarians at Princeton who continue to provide support for scholarly research including the new technologies.   Check the list of Subjects and Specialists from the library staff on the library homepage, or found as the entire back page of the Library broadsheet publication Getting Started available at any reference desk.  We look forward to working with you.
