You can help Dick keep Dick's Guides free by shopping at Dick's MegaMall, shop till you drop on the Internet, without ever leaving home.

Summary: Dick's Guide to Free Research provides you a link, directly with Dick. Dick will do any research for anyone, if the topic interests him and/or he thinks he can create a web page to help other people who may have the same need. In most cases he will respond within the day if you just want advice on where to do research. In some cases he has created full websites for information requests that interested him, or produced information he felt might help others. Dick is usually willing to help people who have a unique need for legal research and cannot afford a lawyer, even if the subject is not of general interest.. Or, in such cases where someone needs advice on choosing a lawyer, Dick will help with the kinds of questions that he thinks need to be asked of a lawyer. Dick is NOT a lawyer, and cannot give legal advice.

Dick has a paralegal degree, a BS in electronic engineering, an MS in Advanced Technology, and is the CEO of dicksguides.com. He is experienced in web research, computer design, logic design, MIS management, child advocacy, technical management, relay circuit design, and other areas. He has authored several books, including How To Make The Purchased Part Cycle Work to Your Company's Advantage and Forgotten Women of Computer History.

WARNING: Dick tries to help everyone, all the time. So, heed this warning.  If you ask him for help, he will likely send you email advice on a whole range of other issues.  Of course, if you get tired of the email you can ask him to stop and he will.

In a moment you will find out how to email your research question.  Dick will almost always get back to you within 24 hours, even if it is simply to tell you he won't be doing the research.  If you don't get an answer in 24 hours it is likely that Dick is either dead, away on a trip or going through one of his "to hell with everything" phases that usually last as many as three days. He suffers this periodically when he comes to realize he can't help everyone that needs help.

In the email that you will send Dick, the subject heading should have the word RESEARCH or RESEARCH ADVICE. Also place in the subject heading the general nature of the request, e.g. RESEARCH Xanax or RESEARCH ADVICE on suing.  Dick will more quickly answer questions for RESEARCH ADVICE.  If it's a term paper, or other student need, try to be as specific as possible in this heading, do not use the word "term paper" but use the subject of the term paper, i.e. "Russia and alcoholism."

For the body of the message you can click on and paste into your email the following BOLD information.  This helps Dick do better research for you:

Specifics about what you want researched:  (example, I'd like research on how to get off the prescription medication Xanax). 

When would you LIKE this research: (Just put in a date , or even the time today you need it)

When is the LATEST date you can benefit from this research:  (Just put in a date , or even the time today you need it)

Who are you?  (examples, I am a college sophmore at AASU, I am a doctor, I am a webmaster interested in creating a page about Xanax, I am a lawyer.)

Why do you need this research: (example, I am doing a report on this for my course in America's Social Problems.)

What were the search word sets you used that did not work for you (America, social, problem; "America's social problems", etc.

Now click here to send the email to Dick.  It might be good to open this email while doing your own searching. In this way you only need to type the words once in the search engine above, then cut and paste the words into the email.  If all the above is simply too much, or not explained well enough, don't worry. Just send me the email and I will ask you, through email, any questions I need to ask  I often get more simply by someone writing me a long email explaining their needs, especially when they have a problem and are upset.
