Accessing online information

  • Using electronic databases
  • Accessing networked information material

Description

An online information resource is a generic term referring to any material accessible through a computer network; an online catalogue is the digital replacement of the traditional library or reference catalogue. With the increasing elaboration of electronic networks, online searches and information retrieval can be conducted efficiently and inexpensively by specialists and generalists alike, taking advantage of remote access to global information databases by personal computer.

Claim

The use of these new electronic information technologies will return to the public form that rarest of commodities: "objective", "unbiased" and fundamentally "complete" information.
