I am having a difficult time accessing information for a paper I need to reasearch on The American Medical Website. The topic is ethical opinions on computer confidentiality. They give you a hint that the articles should start with an E, but I have searched for hours and just can't find what I need. If someone could help me navigate, I would greatly appreciate the assistance.

At this webpage, you can go immediately to the search sites (first three columns across the top) -- or even better you can scroll down until you see the section called HOW TO SEARCH THE INTERNET. Those are the links to start with. You'll not only learn how to come up with good search terms, but also how to evaluate the webpages you get as results. Some will be good and others will be garbage. You need to know how to tell the difference.
My favorite way to search is to go to Google's advanced search page http://www.google.com/advanced_search?hl=en and put my search words or phrases into the first or second search box (either "all the words" or "exact phrase"). However, there many other strategies for searching you can use, and the HOW TO SEARCH THE INTERNET section will help you best.
Learning to use Google or other search engines can save you time and help you learn to find information efficiently. Here are some websites that can teach you how:

I can definitely help you navigate and find the information you are looking for on The American Medical Website. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you access the articles on ethical opinions on computer confidentiality:
1. Start by visiting The American Medical Website. You can do this by opening a web browser and typing "The American Medical Website" into the search engine's search bar.
2. Once you are on the website, look for a search bar or a tab labeled "Publications" or "Articles." This is where you will be able to search for specific articles.
3. In the search bar, type "ethical opinions on computer confidentiality" or simply "computer confidentiality." If they have specified that the articles should start with an "E," you can also try searching for "ethical opinions" or "ethics."
4. After entering your search query, press the "Enter" key or click the search button to initiate the search. This will bring up a list of articles related to your search topic.
5. Go through the search results and look for articles that seem relevant to your research topic. Since the hint mentions that the articles should start with an "E," pay close attention to the titles that start with that letter.
6. Click on the articles that you think might contain the information you need. This will usually take you to a page where you can access the full text or abstract of the article.
7. Read the abstract or the relevant sections of the article to determine if it covers the topic of ethical opinions on computer confidentiality. If it does, note down the article's title, author, and any other relevant details that will be useful for your research.
8. If you are unable to find the articles you need using the search function on The American Medical Website, you can try alternate search strategies. For example, you can use external search engines like Google and Bing by entering your search query with relevant keywords and specifying that you are looking for articles from The American Medical Website using the site-specific search feature.
Remember to keep trying different search terms, be patient, and explore different avenues to find the information you are looking for. Sometimes, altering the search query or approach can yield better results.
