I hope that each point will help you learn how to focus your questions so that the Internet can help you find answers. <p> It is the goal of this Plan to demonstrate a general strategy for finding information on the Internet. Further, the Plan provides pointers and links to various Internet locations that will help users find what there is on a given topic. If you are looking for something in particular, this guide can help you focus your question in such a way as to be able to fruitfully approach answering that question using the Internet. <p> I created this Four-Point Plan in order to help folks answer questions using the Internet. The idea originated during Internet training sessions at Indiana University. I have found the Four-Point Plan outlined here to be a very successful strategy, and hope that you find it useful. <p> It is not my intention to convey a great amount of technical information about the Internet, or teach the history of the network of networks. Nor do I intend this strategy as the only way to use the Internet in a productive or efficient manner. In my own experience, browsing has been at least as successful a method as the more systematic kind of approach that I have outlined here. <p> In any event, I hope this Plan is helpful.
