<p>Yes and no. True, some material is only available on the internet. The class is a graduate college student personnel class sequence and most of the resources we expect the students to use are journal based. </p>
<p>We (two of us team teach the class) learned the hard way that unless the internet is excluded, we would tend to get mostly internet entries at best and cut and paste at worst. It just seemed to be an either or situation - so we require print resources. It will be some time until archived journals are online, probably not too long but just not right now. </p>
<p>We’ll change our techniques when the Internet is truly comparable as a resource to the material in decades of research journals. </p>
<p>Looking back, Rose (my spouse, retired social work chair here) and I published an article back in 1996 in a social work journal about using the Internet to research legislative and regulatory activity in Washington DC. The Internet is by far the best source of that type of material, as it is in terms of your example. </p>
<p>But so far as I know, Ralph Nader’s and Allan Nairn’s 1980 critique of ETS’s practices in the 1970’s “The Reign of ETS” is available only in print, and rather rare (I have a yellowing copy) at that. Remember the EPIRG advocacy groups? :-)</p>
<p>It’s just what tool is right for the job, I think. </p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
<p>Bill</p>
