There is little about me that would be considered average since my life has ranged from agriculture to computers in the work force; OSU Senior Standing, however never graduating, although maintaining a lover of reading and research on the Net in particular. Which I've found to be an excellent source of information for the serious researcher.

While I use Wikipedia often as a source, I don't limit my sources to one or two. It very well depends upon what I am researching at the time. My research is for my own edification and understanding and not to prepare for any form of thesis or involved in anyway with the educational field.

Although I do believe that going to a University is only the beginning of one's education, if one is serious about learning there is an abundant amount of information available on the Internet for them to choose from!

Typically I do research in areas that either I am dealing with personally such as in the case of medical research, or am curious about in general terms. Additionally to my online access, I also have a rather extensive library that is full of information from colleges, to books of interest to me such as biographies and audiobiographies. I enjoy both information that would be considered authenic and that which is completely opinion-oriented, so both fiction and non-fiction is available to me without going online.

I have always been very interested in past President's of the United States of America, and others of similiar level such as Winston Churchill, who accomplished much during their lives. Men who were driven to learn much as our Founding Fathers were known to be well read for the most part.

I must admit that I have a greater passion for that which is considered to be non-fiction as opposed to fiction, with sources listed that can be verified. There is no end to the type of uses this form of research can enable one to do.

One of the great resources that I typically use is Wikipedia Encyclopedia which gives the Internet audience information on nearly everything to some degree. This is a great addition to my book library and can be added much more easily and with much less cost, since it is free, not to mention it taking up no room as the need for information continues to grow in context to my interest level or need for information.

As opposed to written books which are not only finite in duration, but also books often are quite limited in subject of area, since they take up so much physical room, the area one must dedicate to contain them eventually reaches a point of limitation for obvious reasons.

Although I wouldn't trade my physical library for anything, there is nothing like a good book to read, the scope and depth of information available online is nearly without limitations. And since so much more information can be stored electronically in a small area as compared to boxes of books which weight and size limits there are definate advantages to doing research online as opposed to limiting oneself to the world of printed materials only. And of course most of it is free unlike books as well.

I have used free sources of information such as Wikipedia a lot over a period of time, and found that in the majority of cases the information offered is both truthful and while limited in size, holds the needed information which a researcher would want to typically obtain.

Along with http://www.youtube.com/ and other sources both encyclopedia in type and others more specific with one or two authors, this is a great source of information for the serious researcher or one who simply wants to increase their level of knowledge and wisdom on various issues!

Afterall, nobody knows it all, and regardless of how much we know, it is a well known fact that people forget a fairly high level of information over time. Therefore, sources such as this gives the researcher another tool in doing a more exhaustive study on any subject. My sincere appreciation goes out to all who contribute and maintain this site. Thank you very much for all of your hard labor and dedication to the living truth, as much as you can access and document that is. MGM.
