The information you find on the Web is as varied as the people who put it there. Groups that publish information on the Web include: |
|
|
|
Libraries - Libraries are increasingly putting digital collections about many different subjects on the Web. For instance, the Library of Congress puts copies of important historical photographs and documents on their site called The American Memory Project. Clarke spends a lot of money on quality sources--journals, indexes, and electronic books--that it makes available on the Web. |
 |
Colleges & Universities - Many colleges and universities offer online classes as well as provide space for faculty and students to produce Web pages. Information you need to register for classes can be found on the Web. Check with your advisor for how to do this. |

Government Agencies - In order to make information widely available, federal, state and local governments publish much useful information and put many documents on the Web. For example the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) puts copies of tax forms on the Web. |
