SECTION 2: STRATEGIES FOR LOCATING RELIABLE HIV/AIDS INFORMATION ON THE WEB

VALUE-ADDED WEB COLLECTIONS

The Web collections at libraries, local, state, or federal government agencies, and local or national organizations or associations are what we call value-added:

1. Subject experts or information experts have already evaluated all of the Web sites in the collections.

2. Unreliable, inaccurate, or faulty Web resources have already been eliminated for you.

3. Subject experts or information experts have aleady organized the Web collections into logical categories so the information is easier to find.

The fact that these Web collections have been evaluated and organized saves you time and energy when looking for information on the Web.
