What a web we weave

No, I'm not going for the Sir Walter Scott quote

"Oh what a tangled web we weave
when first we practice to deceive."

The internet can be a place of entanglements designed by some to deceive us. I plug the resources available through GALILEO as reliable and authentic resources.

As wonderful as GALILEO can be, it isn't perceived to be as easy as Google (but just wait till the new interface is rolled out).

At the Britannica Blog : Where Ideas Matter, Untangling the Web : a Student Guide to the Internet, by Michael Ross - August 28th, 2007 notes resources that might be useful to bookmark (or place in your del.icio.us account).

Mr. Ross says "One thing I’d suggest to parents is that they subscribe to a recognized general-reference service like Britannica.com and supplement it with free sites by respected organizations, such as NASA, the Smithsonian, and the Library of Congress. Information from major publishers and government agencies is usually reliable."

NMTC users have access to Britannica.com through- yes, through GALILEO.

Untangle the web by using reliable resources.
