Internet Resources

The Internet and World Wide Web are providing global access to information at a phenominal rate.

The Internet is a network connecting computers from around the world. Anything that can be digitalized and stored on a computer can be shared through the Internet, including:

Photos
Graphics
Text
Video
Sounds
Programs
Databases
Indexes

Multimedia Learning Materials
Business Advertising
Course Materials
Videoconferencing
Two-way voice communication
Chat Lines
Forums
Online 'Card' Catalogues

The Internet is growing at an incredible rate. There is now at least something available on almost any topic. Try serching for anything you can think of using www.metacrawler.com or www.altavista.digital.com . Hint: take a few moments to read about optimizing your searches on each search site. This is especially true of AltaVista, since you can end up with thousands of references if you are not careful.

Many libraries now offer computer workstations with connections to the Internet. Please ask your librarian how to start exploring the Internet.

Warning: the Internet has become a showcase for whatever is on the publishers mind and sometimes it is not pretty! The newer web browsers support rating systems that can help screen out sites that have sex, violence, and profanity if you are worried about what your children can view.
