Finding Online Government Publications

摘要

In the brave new world of the Internet, online information comes in many forms. The ability to link from section to section within a Web page, combined with the limited space for Web-page reading that is available on a typical computer monitor, makes for a very different kind of presentation of material. Information displayed on a Web page is often most easily absorbed when it is in a bulleted list of points or outline form. A full-length article presented on a Web page may be broken into sections, so that users only have to scroll down a few screens. (This also allows for increased advertising, as ads can be placed around an article that has been split up onto several Web pages.)
