Not only are Internet resources expanding exponentially, but they are becoming more sophisticated, incorporating a variety of multimedia and hypertext components. Internet documents on the World Wide Web may contain elaborately formatted text, color graphics, audio, and video as well as dynamic connections to other Internet resources via hypertext links. In addition to providing user-friendly access to hypermedia resources, most Web browsers (client software) provide a rich graphical environment for authoring and displaying electronic documents locally. This article describes the World Wide Web and a sampling of the available Web browsers. It then discusses a testproject developed at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Libraries designed to explore the potential, demands, and pitfalls of Web access to the Internet, as well as to investigate hypermedia document creation in an academic libraryenvironment. The experiences with the project qonfirmed the importance of the World Wide Web and Web browsers to this environment, so much so that providing access to these Internet resources must be seen as mandatory to any academic or upper level educational library providing electronic information access.

ZusammenfassungDie Benutzung eines Web-Browsers ist einfach zu erlernen, dennoch stellt die Navigation im Web selbst für erfahrene Benutzer immer wieder Herausforderungen bereit. Einer der Gründe dafür liegt in der Vielfalt von Linkarten und Linkzielen, die für den Benutzer oft nicht transparent sind und ihn so vor Überraschungen stellen, nachdem er einen Link angeklickt hat. Das Projekt HyperScout beschäftigt sich mit Möglichkeiten, die Navigation im Web zu vereinfachen, indem man Informationen zum Typ des Links und zum referenzierten Objekt für den Benutzer sichtbar macht. Dieser Bericht stellt die entwickelten Konzepte und die Ergebnisse einer Evaluation des daraus abgeleiteten Prototyps vor. Die Ergebnisse geben Aufschlüsse darüber, welche Informationen Benutzern vor der Anwahl eines Links hilfreich sind und wie sie dargestellt werden könnten.

The Web

The World Wide Web is a part of the Internet that provides data dissemination facility to people. The contents of the Web are crawled and indexed by search engines so that they can be retrieved, ranked, and displayed as a result of users' search queries. These contents that can be easily retrieved using Web browsers and search engines comprise the Surface Web. All information that cannot be crawled by search engines' crawlers falls under Deep Web. Deep Web content never appears in the results displayed by search engines. Though this part of the Web remains hidden, it can be reached using targeted search over normal Web browsers. Unlike Deep Web, there exists a portion of the World Wide Web that cannot be accessed without special software. This is known as the Dark Web. This chapter describes how the Dark Web differs from the Deep Web and elaborates on the commonly used software to enter the Dark Web. It highlights the illegitimate and legitimate sides of the Dark Web and specifies the role played by cryptocurrencies in the expansion of Dark Web's user base.

The objective of this chapter is to describe the Postcourse project, which is an e-course on database design. It can be reached via the World Wide Web and allows authorized students to create and work with their own databases placed on the university server. The system has been created from scratch, as no authoring package offered tools to interact with databases, which is the innovative feature of the project. The evaluation performed after the system had been used for two years proved that it is a valuable material for self-paced work.

The Internet is a set of rules for computer communications that has created easy access to electronic mail, electronic mailing lists, and the World Wide Web. The "pediatric Internet" consists of a growing collection of Internet resources that deal specifically with the health care of the young. Locating this information, judging its quality, and determining its appropriate use presents difficulties, but the ubiquity of the Internet makes it imperative for child health professionals to learn the skills necessary to access and provide information via this medium. The Internet will be used increasingly for scientific publishing, the original purpose of the World Wide Web. This article presents basic definitions for the Internet, some characteristics of the pediatric Internet, guidance on how to locate information, and what the future of the pediatric Internet holds.
