Description


The World Wide Web offers a wealth of information resources with deceptively simple search engines. The social implications of the Web will be critically examined as a background to the effective utilisation of these resources. This examination will lead to a better and deeper understanding of how these resources are organised and retrieved. Traditional approaches to subject analysis are combined here with comparison of different navigational techniques and an introduction to the variety of resources in the electronic environment.
Offered in Session 2 only.
