A Web page is an electronic document available via the Internet. A group of related, interlinked pages is called a Web site. Some Web resources are available free of charge, particularly those published by public authorities, and some are subject to a fee. The library subscribes to a number of electronic resources on your behalf. Accessing these will be discussed in 2.4.2 Databases. When using freely available information from the Internet you need to evaluate whether the information is reputable. This process is outlined in 3.3 Evalute your resources.

Use Web pages to:

find government information
find company information
find technical information (such as software documentation and help manuals)
