"Researchers today"--that's all of us--"are blessed with increasingly accessible and abundant information, but this proliferation brings challenges. Researchers can now access a wider range of resources, but must spend more time finding the right information. The volume of available information is also growing researchers’ responsibility for information management. To stay effective, researchers must keep track of current research, spot interesting articles not only inside but also outside their fields, and organize data to share with research groups.
Search methods haven’t changed fundamentally in recent years, but are starting to. New display technologies and mobile devices, as well as the ability to combine information across resources (e.g., mash-ups), are changing how researchers find information. Semantic search, data mining and visualization are starting to change how people find, navigate and organize information."
That's why you have a great library staff to help you--just another blessing.
