LibGuides: Design Technology: Web Resources

When to Use Web Resources

Web resources are helpful if:

You need up-to-the minute news and information about current events, trends, and controversial topics.
- Example: New technology
You need government publications such as reports, statistics or legislation.
- Example: The latest unemployment figures in the design industry.

Web resources may not be as helpful because:

Anyone can publish anything on the web, website information is frequently inaccurate or biased, and sometimes outdated.
Only a limited amount of scholarly information is available on the web for free.
