ON THE NETS- The Internet as an Online Service: Bibliographic Databases on the Net

摘要

People who are new to the world of online information find interesting Web sites and a great quantity of information and then assume that everything else can be found there as well. Information professionals know the limits of online sources, and the Internet in particular. Librarians find students spending hours on the Net when a quick search in Readers' Guide or an almanac may find the answer more quickly.
