Anyone who's spent any time in a classroom knows what it's like to be overwhelmed by a subject. The textbook and the teacher aren't enough, and your class notes come up short; you just don't understand, and you need help. If you're like me, those moments came in the middle of the night when all of your classmates were sleeping and would probably be unhappy if you called them, whining. The answer: Turn to the Internet.

Even though there's a wealth of information online about just about everything, not all of it is aimed at academic audiences. eNotes is a service aimed at students and designed to provide them with as much information about common classroom topics as possible. The service has study guides, lesson plans, sample notes, and other reference material that students can easily access and apply to their classroom assignments.

The first thing to note: eNotes is not a free service. You can either pay $99.95 as a one-time sign-up fee and use the service forever, or pay $29.95 per month to access the site's material. eNotes promises that the quality of the material makes up for the costs, and that it will likely pay for itself over your academic career.

Once you're a member, you'll have access to over 3,500 literature study guides, hundreds of thousands of published journal articles, an entire online historical reference library, lesson plans for specific course areas, and more. The information at eNotes is separated by topic, so literature students have one place to go for guides and book notes, and science students have another place ...
