Try it! The Pandemy is…

Infobesity is obvious - the information is there, you just have to extract it.
Rome wasn't built in a day - neither will the research technique be.
It's easy to get lost if you don't have a specific goal.
Be methodical
Identify the information you are looking for
Question the web
Use multiple sources in parallel
What we have seen is indicative of the constantly evolving possibilities

In an information age, data security is essential but increasingly difficult to achieve, companies must take specific measures. For example;
The Government of Canada recognizes the value of information as an asset.
A data governance structure has been put in place in all departments (Sept 2019)
Enhanced standards and guidelines for all aspects of data collection, use, and sharing.
Improve services and increase the value of data
See Data Strategy Roadmap in Brightspace.
In other cases, this data protection is a prerequisite for operations - Defence or R&D related industries.
