Abstract: |
These days we often use internet sources but sometimes we do not see risk,
connected with this network. If we use sources from internet, there could be some of the following problem:
- Information is inaccurate or unreliable.
- Information is out-of-date.
- Information is plagiarized.
Because on the Internet is no autority or checking system, librarians and information specialist should evaluate these
sources with a „critical eye“.
