AbstractWe live in an exciting era that offers increasing opportunities for people all over the world to make discoveries about the Universe using interconnected archives on the Internet as a primary research tool. We review how NED (http://ned.ipac.caltech.edu) can be used in concert with globally distributed online archives to perform multi-wavelength, crosscorrelated studies of AGNs and other galaxy types. The present status and planned evolution of NED capabilities are discussed.

Use Of Internet

<p>The Internet is growing every day as a source of knowledge and medium for exchange of information. Midwives are beginning to recognise its potential for networking and collaboration, as well as a research tool for accessing evidence-based information that can be utilised in practice. This thesis explores the use of the Internet by midwives in New Zealand. It describes a pilot study, which took the opportunity to trial the use of the Internet as a research tool. The pilot study also tested a survey designed to discover how midwives regard and utilise the potential of the Internet to revolutionise the provision of maternity care. The sample for this study was a convenience sample of 54 midwives working in New Zealand. The midwives were invited by personal email to access the web site and complete the questionnaire. The data were then transferred by electronic transmission into the research database, and analysed by SPSS computer software. The data generated were nominal and descriptive statistics were used. This pilot study has shown that there is a population of midwives in New Zealand who regularly use the Internet for searching information, which they utilise in their professional practice, and pass onto colleagues and midwifery clients. Respondents were recruited to the study by way of ‘snowballing.’ One hundred and ten emails were sent out inviting midwives to participate in the study. They were also asked to pass on the invitation email to as many colleagues as possible. 54 midwives completed and submitted the questionnaire.</p>

Ethical Responsibilities

Despite the enormous potential of the Internet as a research tool and environment, implementing youth research in online environments raises significant ethical issues. This chapter addresses two quandaries that surfaced in the author’s own research on adolescent home page authors. First, the necessity and feasibility of obtaining parental consent in online youth research is considered. Second, the chapter discusses the ethical responsibilities of Internet researchers who encounter distressing disclosure authored by youth online. The chapter aims to illustrate the contexts in which such ethical issues may arise and to provide suggestions for Internet researchers who focus on adolescent populations.

Do So

When asked to gather information for any type of research project, books are the last place many of our students want to look, unless forced to do so because print sources are required as part of the assignment. The research tool of this “post-literate” generation is the computer, and their most frequently used source of information is the internet. In fact, using the internet seems to be the best way to keep my students engaged in any extensive, or ongoing, research project.
