Humans are distinct from animals in a sense, as they have curious minds. A curious mind indulges in the search and re-searches. Research is nothing but a search for knowledge. As per the advanced learner’s dictionary the research is defined as a “Systematised effort to gain new knowledge”.
With the advent of internet, researching has become a relatively easier task as information is easily accessible on almost any topic.
E-research is the use of information technology to uphold existing and new forms of research. Alternatively, one can also browse the shelves of a library.
