I'm doing a presentation on medieval Florence tomorrow (It was Montpellier and then Krakow but who's counting?)
Anyway, I spent about six hours going through four books about the history of Florence. These massive books were too specfic and for the life of me couldn't find the general outline to get a grasp on the situation.
Anyway, my twenty minute presentation is now based on a Florence web-site (Tourist Guide to Florence) with some nuggets from the books and general knowledge.
The internet for the win.

The internet's far better for researching then books. What takes an hour using books can take literally 5 minutes on the net.
Exactly but Universities are so pretencious, especially my department.
If you don't include books printed from the 1930s based on an author's biast account in which 50% is out dated and only about 10% is relevant to your question then it is deemed you haven't researched enough.

Yeah, we arent allowed to use weblinks for citations either.

What I tend to do for essays is find a good website that sums up everything about the point then I use books to get some specific examples but just don't include the web links.
The old style can be uselful if in an essay I'm being asked about some policy in 18th century Paris but as with tomorrow it is useless when asked something over hundreds of years.

Double
What a strange double post anomaly.
yeah, i`m finding the same thing with the research for my dissertation.
Doing an CG animation based dissertation is a pain in the butt as there are precious few books on the subject and not that much of a history (relatively) to research.
Not TOO much of a problem until you consider that universities don`t really rate internet research and only pop for "academic writings". If anyone can find an academic writing about "how no-one respects the new star wars movies because they had no reson to care about the cg characters (gungans, clone troopers etc), whereas at least stormtroopers were stuntmen in suits" kinda thing then please, let me know.

The essay I just did allocated 20% of it's marks to your sources.
