This document discusses searching for information on the internet versus searching libraries. It notes that the internet contains a large quantity of information but it is not always high quality, reviewed, permanent or well organized like information found in libraries. It also discusses different types of search engines and tools that can help search the internet more effectively, such as Google, Yahoo and other meta search engines. Finally, it mentions that not all information is accessible via search engines and there is also a "deep web" of information.
