Often while doing research online we are reading an article that contains hyperlinks to other articles. For example, click here. These links are beckoning us to click away from the main article, but at what cost? We are faced with a decision--should we maintain our focus on the main article? or should we click away to another page which holds the promise of better information? Our research can splinter into a million directions, but should we let it? The easiest solution to this is to read the entire article and then at the end go back and click through to the various links. The question here is do we have enough willpower to wait until the end? What about our students?
