Groups
on the Web
The information you
find on the Web is as varied as the people who put it there. Groups that
publish information on the Web include: |
| Libraries
- The Library of Congress puts copies of important historical photographs
and documents on their site called The American Memory Project. Ely Library
acquires quality resources --journals, full text databases, periodical
indexes, and electronic books--that it makes available on the Web. |
| Universities
- Many colleges and universities offer online classes as well as provide
space for faculty and students to produce Web pages. Information you need
to register for classes can be found on the Web. |
| Government
Agencies - In order to make information widely available, federal,
state and local governments publish many documents on the Web. The Internal
Revenue Service (I R S) puts copies of tax forms on the Web. |
| Organizations
- Organizations publish information about their purposes on the Web. For
example, the American Lung Association educates about the dangers of smoking
on its Web page. |
| Companies
- Many companies publish financial documents and press releases on their
sites. They use the Web as a major marketing tool. |
| People
- With a computer and a phone connection, anyone, anywhere in
the world, can publish on the Web. |
