The Web is great at providing current and popular information. Look to the Web for the latest news, but it can be confusing or impossible to use for comprehensive or historical academic research. Information on the Web may become quickly dated or disappear altogether. Web information is published by a variety of sources. The Web can be a good source for gathering a wide range of ideas and for sampling public opinion. Anyone can publish on the Web! Experts, journalists, consumers and even children all write Web pages. Be sure to evaluate the information you find because most information on the Web does not go through a review process; hence it may not be reliable, credible, or authoritative. The Web
generates large quantities of information. Yahoo's directory of subjects provides useful
organized
links to this vast amount of information. Unfortunately, at this time
there is way too much information for a single site to organize and
index
effectively. How many million hits do you get when you search Google? The Web
is convenient for shopping. Web sites make purchasing
books, music, airline tickets, clothing, and so many other things
convenient. But when it comes to research, many web pages provide some
information for free, but charge a fee to access their information
in
depth or get help with your particular question. The Web
