Research
If you're a person of few words (or too many words), at least you can make sure they're the right words with help from the Research button. With the Research button you can search the best research resources on the Internet right from your toolbar or ALOT home page. Just enter your research term or phrase in the ALOT Search box and then click the desired research link to search for dictionary definitions, synonyms, quotations, acronyms or computer and Internet definitions. Plus, you can search by topic to find study guides from SparkNotes featuring thorough summaries and insightful critical analysis of a nearly endless range of subjects. Whether you're a student, a writer or just plain curious, the Research button puts all the essential reference tools at your fingertips in one convenient location.
