Summary: The lecture will be covering these topics:
Internet vs Web:
web is an abstract virtual space of information it would not exist without the net.
Historical Perspective of the web:
The web was developed by Tim Berners-Lee in( a researcher at CERN) 1989. This was mainly done to facilitate sharing research information.
Defining the www:
The web is a universe of accessible information stored on computers around the world. The information is available through a gigantic network called internet. A network of servers is linked together by a common protocol, allowing access to millions of hypertext resources.
WWW Protocols
TCP/IP – Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol
» HTTP – Hypertext Transfer Protocol
» DNS – Domain Name System
» URL – Uniform/Universal Resource Locator
Web browsers/interface:
The web browsers interface provides the user tools for searching, navigating and saving snapshots of www.
Tutorial Summary:
The tutorial will be looking at evaluating the relevance, authenticity, validity and reliability of a range of library online and other sources of information.

The websites have attempted to be authentic
- By having terms and conditions link on one of the websites homepage
- By having the presidents picture on the site and the flag of the country attempted to show that this website is not a joke
But in reality these websites are not authentic:
- The molossia site is a spoof because it says so if you click on the teachers link
- Also molossia is not a country
- The url says org when it is not an orgnisation's website
- The website provides this information on the homepage Republic of Molossia 226 Mary Lane,Dayton, NV 89403 which also gives it away as a spoof
The haggis hunt site does not have any contacts on the homepage
- There is no elaboration of what a haggis hunt is on the home page
- There is a link on the site that has nothing to do with the website itself camvista.com
Based on the url I expect to find a biography of martin luther king on this website, which would have included what he stood for in America and what his legacy is.
My first impressions is that the website is appalling in its message and what it is presenting abuot one of the world's most respected personalities, Martin Luther King was famous for his persistent for equality for all Americans especially his people the African American. It is clear that the information written on this website about Martin Luther King is extremely biased and has been written with no prior knowledge about Martin Luther King and what he was as a person. The website is presenting simply the opposite of Martin Luther King.
I believe as a person who knows Martin Luther King and what he has done in America, the website is surely not credibe to use for any purposes of research. The website virtually presents a true opposite of Martin Luther King's calibre and has been produced with no research about Martin Luther King.
Reading One Summary: A brief History of the Internet: Internet is a system that allows computers to communicate with each other. The first step towards the modern computer was Samuel Morse's invention in 1844 of communication using electronic impulses, a key and a special code that sequences of pulses to letters of the alphabet. When war came up scientists were force to produce a device with an internal stored memory. then in June 1948 a team at the University of Manchester produced one followed by a wave later. until now cimputers have been developed either for various branches of government or as prototype units within universities.
Reading Summary Two: The World Wide Web is a network of sites that can be searched and retrieved by a special protocol known as a Hypertext Transfer protocol (HTTP). The WWW concept was designed in 1989 by Tim Berners-Lee and scientists at CERN (Geneva), the European centre for High Energy Physics, who were interested in making easier to retrieve research documentation. A year later he had developed a 'browser/editor' program and had coined the name World Wide Web as a name for the program. The next step was to design an improved 'browser', a system which allowed the links to be hidden behind text (using a Hypertext Markup Language, HTML) and activated by a click with the 'mouse'. By the end of 1992 there were only 50 web-sites in the World and a year later the number was still no more than 150. In 1994 there were 3,2 mln hosts and 3,000 web-sites. Twelve months later the number of hosts had doubled and the number of web-sites had climbed to 25,000. By the end of the next year the number of host computers had doubled again, and the number of web-sites had increased by more than ten-fold. This all took place in 1997, by which time the number of host computers integrated into the Web had reached 19,5 mln hosts, and the number of web-sites had shot up to 1,2 million. By the last count, in January 2001, the number of hosts stood at 110 million and the number of web-sites had reached 30 million.
