Understanding the differences among the various types of information resources available today is a life skill for the 21st Century. Being able to quickly and effectively locate information is more important than ever before since all of human knowledge now doubles every few years. No one can simply learn everything there is to know, but most of us can learn how to find out what we want to know by mastering the use of these information sources.  In this assignment, you will be using a variety of information resources on the same topic and recording information from each as your group completes your wikipage.
