Twelfth
Annual Women's Studies Conference, February 25-26, 1999
The name is becoming very familiar and a part of our lives. We call it the World Wide Web,
WWW, Web, Internet, or Net or any number of other names. Information, sometimes new and
sometimes old, has been made accessible electronically by our computers. The same kinds of
criteria that we use to define quality information should be used when looking at information on
the Web. There's good information, bad information, and everything in between. Don't let your
judgement be swayed, just because it's on the Web. To the best of my ability I have tried to
make sure that the web addresses are correct. If you've used the web at all, you are familiar with
the ease that web sites come and go. If the address given isn't responding, try shortening the
address or try doing a web search for the title given.
If you aren't familiar with using the Web, Thomas Cooper Library offer classes in beginning and
advanced searching of the Web or arrangements can be made to have someone come to your
office. The schedule is available on the USC Training page - University Libraries http://training.csd.sc.edu/tcl/tcl.htm

best agency that the women's movement has to keep connected, informed and active.
