What else is out there except the World Wide Web? (online)
A good understanding of the global information landscape, especially with the Internet, is essential for information professionals. An information professional does not think Google, an information professional thinks sources. Especially now, in the Internet age, where many wrongly assume that the Internet is just the World Wide Web (WWW) and forget about all the other sources on the Internet that are not WWW.
The course will give a structured overview of the global information landscape, a crystal clear overview of all information available via the Internet that you will not find in the WWW, and show that Google in reality does cover only a fraction of what is out there. In addition, the Deep Web will be discussed and looked into.
