This link to the Buddhist Studies World Wide Web Virtual Library is a master link. If you explore it thoroughly it will lead you to a vast library of very reliable materials. Unfortunately material found on the web can be of highly uneven quality because it doesn't go through the same "vetting" or evaluation process of materials in print sources. On the one hand, Web sites can contain information and visual material of great value which is not available in print media. On the other hand, in matters of religion especially, material on the internet may represent the particular views of persons or groups rather than a "scholarly consensus" arrived at through careful research and study. If you are considering using material found on a Web site, you should: (a) Determine the source of the information. (b) Determine whether the information fits with the "scholarly consensus" found in the print materials used in the course. (c) Make a carefully considered decision about whether the material is appropriate for an academic essay. (d) If you decide to incorporate WWW material in your paper that is non-scholarly but still of interest, you must describe it as you would other unrefereed sources--acknowledging that it is the view of those responsible for the Web site rather than "neutral," "objective" information. (e) Cite the material in your bibliography by its URL (WWW address). By now most students are aware that faculty regularly use web plagiarism software when they suspect that material has been lifted from the web without attribution. Following these principles will help insure good research methodology. If you need help in evaluating the contents of a Web site, feel free consult with me.
