Informational Sites
"Research our extensive archive of more than 28 million documents from 2,600 sources."
This is a search engine of sorts but much better than Google. I found it to return better results with less "junk" results. Which is important when strapped for time and not wanting to weed through the internet rubbish pile. Makes the rubbish pile significantly smaller in my view!

Need something to add to your knowledge about a particular topic? This is a great way. Especially if you are a visual/auditory learner. Also a great resource for teachers. Since these ARE films you would benefit exceptionally from having a fast internet connection.

WebMD
This site is much like a medical book but with a search engine. You even could go to a certain part of the site and input what symptoms you have and you'll get a list of diagnosis related to those symptoms. This in no way means you shouldn't go to a doctor. Just it is a great resource to learn more about how to keep ourselves healthy and more about anything medical related.
