Personally the internet has made me a very lazy scholar... It is soo easy to get just about any source online that as a grad student, I have not yet visited the stacks in our library... never did as an undergrad either come to think of it... and yet I graduated with honors, in 4 years, with 2 majors, from a very prestigious private college. I suppose it's what you read, not how you read it.... One particularly great internet studying moment arose when I did a Google scholar search of the topic for my Master's thesis and found another recently written Master's thesis on the same (very VERY obscure) topic. When I couldn't gain access to the print version through my University's library and emails from the author's previous university proved fruitless, I looked her up on Facebook. Sure enough, after a quick facebook message to her, she emailed me a PDF of her completed thesis which then guided me to a plethora of other sources I wouldn't have ever found. Suddenly, there were 3 Neo-Futurist scholars out there and I was no longer alone on my thesis quest. It was a very cool online series of events. As a teaching assistant for a 100 level theatre appreciation course however, my undergrad students display a shocking lack of finesse with the online sources.. If I get one more term paper citing nothing but wikipedia and Joe-Schmoe's blog I may scream... not to mention the occasional blatant plaigerism. In the end, the internet, like everything else, is a wonderful thing in moderation, but can lead to a whole new level of trouble when abused.
