The writer asserts that the web is a wonderful tool for the discerning researcher and used along with reference books can provide accurate and objective historical information.

From the Paper:

"If a site is user friendly, then it is most useful. Sites that are heavy with graphics and take a relatively long time to load are not as useful. Depending on the amount of memory and the isp a person uses, the graphics may take too long. This can lead to a frozen computer screen or an error message. It is also important for web sites to be heavy in verifiable content with citations. In this way, additional study can be done. A list of other resources on the web is also useful to enlarge the information and to verify the material. Some sites include contact information and list a date it was revised. Others have no follow up information and no dates."
