In contrast, the web (www) : • Contains billions of web pages • Has no quality control – nobody checking whether all information is correct or misleading, up-to-date or outdated, useful or offensive. The web continuously to grow as an important information source to us. That’s why most library OPAC have a links to websites selected by librarians. Library OPAC give us access to : • Library materials that has been catalog by librarians • Physical items the library has, like books, CDs, Kits, etc. • Electronic resources that you view on your computer
