Accessing the WWW can provide a fast and useful way of researching a topic or problem. However, unlike traditional paper publications, anyone with the necessary technology and know-how can put up a page on the Web. Like other parts of the Internet such as email, chat rooms and discussion groups, the WWW is not regulated by any oversight agency. This means that you have to be particularly critical when examining information posted on a website. When searching for relevant information, you must examine multiple perspectives on a topic or problem.
Individuals often have their own webpages on which they post their work.
Also, others may post an individual's work on a website. Using a search engine to locate information on a topic may be as easy as typing in a person's name. For example, a professional organization's conference or meeting website may have information about the topic you are researching. The answer to this question may lead you to information posted on a webpage or in a newsgroup or to an event you may want to attend. There are multiple ways to get to the same website.
