Thing 34: Is It Competition? Online Answer Sites

The appeal to online answer sites is that you can do it anywhere you are and it is private. You definitely need to be aware of where your answers are coming from and you ask a question on any of these sites. Some of the questions I found on the sites were personal questions that you might not want to ask a librarian. And yes some questions could have been answered at the library such as a phone number or address, or a history question. I think the people that use these don't know about all the resources that the library as available for them.
