Excellent report in CQ Researcher this week

Internet Accuracy - How Reliable is Information Found on the Web (dated August 1st, 2008)

Wow - an excellent report. It discusses information that we have talked about in this course. Particularly about the concept of community contributions to wikis for reference material (namely Wikipedia) and how the accuracy of that information can affect other information resources.

The report also discusses how the younger generation is used to information overload, and how most people who know how to use a search engine can FIND information on the web, but is it the BEST source out there for them to utilize.

Check it out and let me know what you think of it. I will definitely be using this report as a reading assignment for future courses!
