However, educational sites may often have links to sites that have not been well evaluated. This is also the case for library web sites. Government sites are usually the safest, especially for regulatory and statistical information. Please remember that someone must choose to make information available on a Web Page. The United States government is not under any obligation to put public information out on the Internet.
Much public information is still print only.
Also, humans still have to do a great deal of indexing and abstracting work. Even with computers, a government agency's workload may be such that statistics are published a year or more after initial collection.
