En ligne qui peut!

A cause des etudiants nous voila l'Internet. Netscape et Yahoo sont tous les deux les travaux des etudiants. Les etudiants font des recherches en ligne, par les bonnes sources du BUBL, de l'International Bibliography of the Social Sciences, de l'Institute for Research in Social Science, et du Virtual Library. En ligne, ils lisent les nouvelles, se communiquent par le courrier electronique, et s'amusent des courbes de l'archive mathematique MacTutor. Avec eux, les scientifiques partagent en ligne leur savoir-faire, par des conferences, des journaux de recherches, et des statistiques. Que les non-scientifiques mettent en ligne des travaux de la meme haute qualite des journaux scientifiques, tels que Byte, Computer Weekly, et Computing.

Net Raider

Students are behind much of the web's new looks over the years: Netscape began as a student project; students have kept online chat services and newsgroups going; and Yahoo started as a student catalogue of interesting web places. Students are also still research sampling Internet resources: FTP, Listserv mailing lists, Telnet libraries, Usenet newsgroups and the web. Their research efforts are the daily proof that search engines work for precision and gateway sites or libraries, such as the specialist BUBL link and the WWW Virtual Library, come up with the most reliable academic information. They show just how impressively data can be accessed from the International Bibliography of the Social Sciences, one of the world's largest and most comprehensive databases, and the Institute for Research in Social Science, one of the largest and oldest machine-readable U.S. data archives. Their fearless web browsing encourages such Java-capable fun as interacting with the MacTutor history of mathematics archive's famous curves. Author Chris Wright says that students are successfully pushing the envelope on science and that the non-science research community needs to keep up with Internet searchable magazines, equivalent to Byte, Computer Weekly and Computing; research papers from conference proceedings and refereed journals; pioneering industry white papers; and specialist academic web sites. So THE INTERNET FOR STUDENTS heads readers straight to Reva Basch's RESEARCHING ONLINE FOR DUMMIES and SECRETS OF THE SUPER NET SEARCHERS, Mary Ellen Bates' SUPER SEARCHERS DO BUSINESS, Timothy K Maloy's THE INTERNET RESEARCH GUIDE, and Eric J. Ray's THE ALTAVISTA SEARCH REVOLUTION.
