The Web

The Web allows you to access information on the Internet through a browser. One of the main features of the Web is the ability to link quickly to other related information.

  • to find current news (but use caution, because not all news and information on the Web is current!)
  • to link to information provided by the library over the Internet
  • to find information about companies
  • to find information from all levels of government - federal to local
  • to find both expert and popular opinions
