Information on the Web

There are two different approaches to finding information for your research project on the Web:

spider web Using the Public Web: This would include using resources that are available openly on the Web to anyone.

Using the Library's Online Resources: Including database subscriptions and other resources found through your library's website and available ONLY to the Philadelphia University community.

There are benefits and drawbacks to using each approach. They also share a lot of overlapping qualities.
