| Email is a method of online communication with one or more
people using special software on an Internet-connected computer.
It is not a private form of communication since messages can be
easily copied and sent to others. It is difficult to convey
emotion or intent in an email message, so you must clearly state
what you mean to say. You should be aware that there are rules
of etiquette or "netiquette" to follow when using email. For
example, USING ALL CAPITAL LETTERS is frowned upon because it is
considered to be "shouting" in an online environment.

- to ask your reference librarian a question about research
