Most of the information available from the Libraries is also on the Web. The Libraries subscribe to many databases and electronic journals so that our users may have access to these resources. You will not be able to locate or access these if you are using a common Web search engine such as AltaVista or Yahoo. Anyone can make a Web page. Often, free server space for a personal Web page comes as part of a subscription with an Internet service provider.
All search engines work the same.
Some search a computer generated database of Web pages. Some search a database of Web pages indexed by real people. You can always trust the accuracy of the information on the Web. Make sure your evaluate any Web page you want to use in your research. When citing a Web page in a list of works cited, you need to include the day the Web page was last updated and the day you accessed the Web page.
