I typically use Ask Jeeves, and Google to find the answers to many of my solutions. My guess your team has an arsenal of tools to find the answers to any problem. I am interested based on, the specifics to a problem, the constraints of time, the large diversity of questions, how you find a solution to the many problems that are presented.
Perhaps, at the PHD level you are taught how to find, and document research at greater speed. What tools, or methodologies do you use that you would be willing to share?
Any points would be appreciated, it will make my life easier, and help me down the road, when I work on my PHD. I prefer to ask the experts!
