While the resources that you use in a library have been evaluated in one way or another before you have seen them, none of this applies to the Internet. With the rapid growth of the Internet, today s library user can access resources from any place in the world and from many types of information providers. These providers include governments, organizations, businesses, and individuals making their pet projects accessible to the world.

Anyone can mount a home page and these pages may contain incorrect or misleading information either accidentally or on purpose.
