While the Web may share some of
the traditional library’s characteristics, it has significant differences
that are crucial to finding information.
The Web is not organized as a
library; there is no single card catalog or directory of resources.
The Web does not include
selected resources as a library does. Anyone with access to a server may
publish information on the Web; and while guides for publishing web
pages do exist, no universal standards for publishing and indexing
information have been accepted.
