Information is abundant and more easily retrieved than ever - but students often misunderstand how to get their information needs met. The first factoids that pop up in a data search are often the tip of the iceberg: to sift through the results and understand the information, students need to approach a search with a spirit of inquiry. Examining issues from various angles, and structuring the search questions, can create different results. The author encourages instructors to help students research their questions, rather than attempting to fit an answer into the results they want.-- adapted from introduction.
