Looking Up: An Opinionated a Guide to Finding Out Things

Stone Age. Iron Age. Bronze Age. Middle Ages. Space Age.

Those were all interesting times to live in, I am sure. But us modern folk, we are ears deep in the Information Age.

From wake-up to pass-out, information flows into in a non-stop barrage from computers and smartphones, TVs and radios. We can even learn from some things you don’t have to recharge like books, newspapers and magazines.

The problem is, how do track it all, store it all and pick out what you need to know from all the vasty piles of information waiting for you to come calling?

We’re here to help with library guides, research tips, pointers on using archives and other good judo moves to use on the Information Age behemoths.

And as interesting all those ages of yore were, I wouldn’t be in any great hurry to time travel back to France in 1348. Too plague-y for me.  And personal hygiene? Pepe Le Pew. I’ll stick to the Google Era.  Sergey and Larry can thank me later.
