Editor's Notes
- Books, journals, all kinds of information sources, plus people to help you find and use them. Libraries can be intimidating. It’s OK to have questions – there are lots of people here who will help you find the info you’re looking for and learn your way around.
- Google and other search engines can only get us to info found on the surface Web -- info from public websites (such as news, entertainment, businesses, government sites), blogs, online stores/shopping sites, and other free access content. The surface web represents only a fraction of all digital or online info, most of which lives in what’s called the Deep Web. Deep web includes restricted information such as password-protected websites and classified documents. As college students, much of the information you’ll need for your classes is in the deep web, but it’s not accessible through search engines like Google, and it’s not free. Access to this content is what academic libraries like us pay for. Libraries also help provide access to the tremendous amount of information that’s not available online at all. So when we need info about something, we should care about whether we’re getting the right info, not just the info that might be immediately available to us…
