On The Net – The Changing Information Cycle

Anonymous Patron writes On The Net – The Changing Information Cycle

I have been pondering the whole concept of the role of the changing information cycle. After years of playing around on the Net, searching for information, evaluating Web sites, comparing tools, and investigating the changing online information universe, I’ve realized that the information journey on the Internet differs from a similar search in bibliographic or full-text databases. There, a typical research process revolves around articles and books, and knowledge of the traditional information cycle helps determine which source may have the most relevant information.
