pesticides, drinking water & the research literature

[Margaret Merrill <mmerrill@vt.edu>]

Your first step should be to go to a university library to conduct a
thorough literature search.  If you are unfamiliar with how to do this, the
librarian should be able to assist.   I would imagine that the literature over
the last two decades on agricultural chemicals and drinking water is
extensive.

I am doing a research paper on the effects of agricultural chemicals on
drinking water.  Do you have any information in this area.


I could not agree more strongly with the above reply to the question on
pesticides and drinking water.  A thorough literature search is the
absolute prerequisite to any research paper/project and that cannot be done
surfing the web.  A huge percentage of existing information is still
available only through libraries.  It will probably be generations rather
than years before *everything* (if that is even possible) is in electronic
form and available over some future version of the WEB.

Good luck with your hunt.  I know that your IU librarians will be glad to
help you.
