Our dependence on World Wide Web (Web) technology for information, communication and services grows daily. Consider the slightly frantic behaviors people often exhibit when they are unable to access the Web for an extended period of time. Of course there is the other side – a break from interacting with a computer is viewed as a relief for the eyes. Even so, it is clear that our information society is becoming wedded to Web technology for daily activities. The proliferation of library and information science publications addressing and researching aspects of the Web – still a relatively new phenomenon – provides even further evidence of our dependence on this technology. In fact it’s difficult, if not impossible, to find an information science periodical without one article dealing with Web technology.
