We're in agreement, but let's not mislead anyone about how much research can be done via the web. We regularly read posts from people who are disappointed or even surprised that anything and everything they want isn't just a few keystrokes and a mouse-click away.

The internet is a highly useful guide which allows researchers to find some sources on-line and even more available within a reasonable distance of their homes. The web can also identify microfilm and printed materials that can be obtained from distant libraries and repositories.
