The Challenges of the Web

Ah, the World Wide Web.
  What a tangled web you weave. 
I can't find the best information 'cause it's "invisible"? 
And now I have to worry whether the author's a "dog?!"

But that's the challenge you must take as a good researcher.  The images listed below is what a good search engine such as Google actually brings you when it searches the Web at large: Tabloids, fliers, commercials, journals, research from reputable institutions . . . and questionable institutions.  You need to be able to distinguish what is reputable research material and what is not.  When search engine results come to you as a list, it's not going to be as obvious.  Remember:  Anybody can put anything on the Web.  There's really no quality control, here, unless you go to a tool that searches only selected sites such as the Subject Directories or Public WWW Sites Selected by Librarians.
