Utilizing the Internet for research is an increasingly accepted practice that can be a boon, but researchers must still be wary. For important guidelines about using the Internet in doing research, please read the "Guidelines for doing research with free Web sources" box in the Citations and guidelines page, above.

The Religious Studies department gathers data on religious institutions in and around the College in order to (1) have a good, student-friendly index of fieldwork sites as we continue to focus on the local community as our learning environment; (2) make our data available to civic and community groups; and (3) help inform researchers of the immense religious diversity in the area. This information is maintained with student help; for more information, send an email to jcarbine@whittier.edu.
