Gone are the days of searching the “stacks” of the old library as are the hours pouring through microfiche and microfilm. Today, simply sit down in front of a computer with your favorite web browser and you quickly have access to published media, videos, recorded classes, presentations, etc. In fact, according to Google, 1 billion searches are conducted every day through Google’s search engine9.
