Who cannot relate to this? A situation beyond frustrating, to be sure.

Oh, my, suddenly I feel the whoosh of years gone past. Even I have gone from prowling library stacks or rooting through the index cards in a file drawer--to using the internet for pretnear everything. Gone are the days in which I used at least 75 books while researching medieval history for my first novel . . . I love the explosion of knowledge . . . and yet miss that touchable, smell-able ambiance of books in a strictly-enforced QUIET reading area . . . How much do we need to know so fast? I do hope the goodness of human interaction isn't totally tossed out along the way like a used sandwich wrapper, and I say that being the least sociable person you could know.

Some topics are harder to find sources. Even a professor found locating information on a Canadian author difficult but we did. If teachers and professors make themselves available the research will go easier. Your cousin Amanda has to keep looking in all the possible sources. BC-A, Bill’s RJLst

It can be troubling for a high school student! I think you are very correct in that research skills are not totally developed in young students! I hope she can find the info or at least change to an area that has more info. It is a common lament among high schools students in my experience! sam
