43. 43 But Google ≠Everything There is no free lunch. Google is great but it doesn't own the Web – in particular the research materials and contents that it indexes; The Library already paid for a lot of e-journals, e-books, e- newspapers so that you can access free online – e.g. compare the Library PressDisplay and other free online newspapers; and our Britannica Image QuestLibrary PressDisplayBritannica Image Quest And remember, still not everything is in electronic format or online – check out iSearch – our Intelligent one-stop Searching which includes both Library books, videos, music as well as journal articlesiSearch So, if you only rely on Google, you are going to miss a lot.

Is it a personal web page or an organizational web page? When was it created and updated? Click on the related links – how many dead links are there? What are the target audience? Are there advertising on it? What is the tone and design of it? Are the contents objective? Who sponsored it? Something just doesn't add up? Too good to be true?
