How often you go to the library and read books in there?
Internet is the main source of INFORMATION in the PRESENT era. It is the main source of knowledge of the modern world that makes students or professionals got some of useful information. BUT…..how sure they get the accurate data that they want?
Now it is the main issue. Most of the web developers create their website just for popularity, power, business, and sometimes it’s just for fun. (MY OWN IDEA)

The World Wide Web offers information and data from all over the world. Because so much information is available, and because that information can appear to be fairly “anonymous”, it is necessary to develop skills to evaluate what you find. When you use a research or academic library, the books, journals and other resources have already been evaluated by scholars, publishers and librarians. Every resource you find has been evaluated in one way or another before you ever see it. When you are using the World Wide Web, none of this applies. There are no filters. Because anyone can write a Web page, documents of the widest range of quality, written by authors of the widest range of authority, are available on an even playing field. Excellent resources reside along side the most dubious. The Internet epitomizes the concept of Caveat lector: Let the reader beware. This document discusses the criteria by which scholars in most fields evaluate print information, and shows how the same criteria can be used to assess information found on the Internet.(http://www.library.jhu.edu/researchhelp/general/evaluating)
