But it has its role, too. It is true that you can find today's headlines easily on the World Wide Web. You can find out the latest news, what's happened in the last hour, better on the World Wide Web. But for research into older stories and to access copyrighte materials, it is much more difficult to find suitable sites on the Web. The Web changes.
Web pages come and go.
But, thankfully, the World Wide Web does not change out of all recognition. Librarians have an advantage when it comes to surfing the Web in search of information to answer reference questions. We already know the importance of devising an appropriate search strategy which involves both choosing the most appropriate sources and the best search terms. I have been answering ready reference questions using the Internet for several years now. I primarily use the World Wide Web for this.
