The content of pages on the internet varies from frivolous to valuable. Many libraries, universities, governments, corporations, newspapers, and magazines have produced Web pages which can be viewed by anyone.
Web pages can contain text, graphics, animations, and music to name just a few of the possibilities.
Users of the page can click on highlighted words or graphics, known as hyperlinks, to move from one page to another. By following a hyperlink, with a single click of the mouse button, you may move to a page stored thousands of miles away. You may be looking at a document from Idaho and with a click of a button be electronically transported to a page stored half way around the globe. Web browsers are able to download information from distant computers to be viewed on your screen. Here in the library we use the Netscape Browser to explore the Web.
