Problems with Internet Resources

  • Too much useless and incorrect information
    • Time wasted to sift through all information
    • Information may be not up-to-date or mis-leading
    • E.g. http://dir.yahoo.com/entertainment/humor/useless_pages/
  • Searching issues
    • Searching on the Internet can be done based on:
      • Search engines
      • Meta search engines
      • Subject directories
      • Databases
  • Lack of standards
    • No established process in determining a standard in publication as issues covered can range from personal to institutional.
      • Instability of web pages
      • Moving and disappearing of web pages without notice
