Granted, online is the easiest source but not always the straightest line to the competitive wages for the area. Private companies and small to mid-size businesses may advertise their pay rates in the local papers in order to attract applicants. If you find your current posistion to be less, you can use this to your advantage, even if you are not applying around. Another resource is your local classified.

On my last negotiation, they didn't ask me what my current compensation was, they only asked what my desired salary was. It was a little different than this situation. But I have a feeling most situations are unique. :) Frugal Dad, that is a great strategy.

Total compensation could include benefits, employer retirement contributions, profit sharing, etc. The potential employer will know that, but still won't be able to figure your actual salary. If they don't know that you haven't told a lie and they won't low-ball their initial offer.
