When to Use the Web
Web resources may be appropriate if...
  • the information is only available on the web (e.g., current company, government, association, organization, medical, or leisure information)
  • the information you find on the web is more current than that found in other resources
  • more details are provided on the web versus in another resource

Remember that information on the web has not necessarily been verified or updated. For more information on using web resources for research, see Using Web Resources section of this tutorial.
