The World Wide Web, also called
"the web" or "WWW," is a computer network which allows you to access information on computers
around the world by using an Internet browser. One of the
main features of the Web is the ability to link quickly to other
information.
|
| Caution is advised when
using web sites for college |
research since some web
sites contain information that is inaccurate, incomplete, outdated or
deliberately misleading. As a result, many college instructors do not
want you to use just free web sources, but require library resources
that have information written and selected by experts. Access to CSN
Library research databases is
available only to current CSN students with valid student ID numbers and
passwords.
|
| Good reasons to use the World Wide Web: |
-
the
latest
news and information: www.cnn.com, www.msnbc.com
-
search engines
and subject directories like Google, Yahoo and Librarians' Index
(www.lii.org)
-
government
websites: city, county, state and federal
-
associations and
organizations such as the American Medical Association, Professional
Rodeo Cowboys' Association, or Sierra Club
-
