From the article, "...with the arrival of the Internet, tens of thousands of scholarly texts and individual works of literature are available to us in a searchable form. However, bigger isn't necessarily better: we need to be discriminating. A search engine, such as Google, provides a scattergun approach, returning a vast set of results with no indication of the date or reliability of sources. We are therefore most interested in material that has been collected together in databases, where we are able to carry out sophisticated searches (by date, in proximity to other terms, etc.) and where we can rely on the provenance of the information we are viewing."
