Abstract:

The Internet can function like a well-paved superhighway with excellent signage, or it can be a potholed detour with no roadside assistance and an undesirable destination. In this article an engineering librarian offers a primer for savvy usage of the web for transportation research. Topics covered include search engines and search tips, the invisible web, web portals, indexes and abstracts, library resources, monitoring misinformation, keeping up, and more.
