Online Research:Different Techniques

  Starting this week I'm going to describe a few useful ways to obtain information online.I'll start off with wikipedia.
  Wikipedia is the online repository of information.Here are a few ways I've found it useful:
 1.Description of each topic is given.
 2.Links to related topics and for further reading are given.
    For example links can be tutorials.
 3.In topics like software a list of similar software plus a comparison is given(not always though).
 4.If the term is not available as a separate topic then it could be part of another topic.
    This can be used for further research.

 Tips:use the suggest feature to quickly find search terms(or even related topics).
        search the site using google to find if a term is present in any topic.
