The
information you find on the Web is as varied as the people
who put it there. Groups that publish information on the
Web include:

Libraries
- The Library of Congress puts copies of important historical
photographs and documents on their site called The American
Memory Project. Blinn College Library spends a
lot of money on quality sources--journals, indexes,
and electronic books--that it makes available on the Web.

as well as provide space for faculty and students to produce
Web pages. Information you need to register for classes
can be found on the Web.

available, federal, state and local governments publish
