The Deep Web
Why should You Care?
What if I told you there's 500 times* more information in the deep Web than you can get to using a search engine like Google or Yahoo?
You might say, "So what? I can get to more than 20 billion web pages using a search engine like Yahoo. Isn't that enough?"
Then I'd say, "No. In research it's not about quantity, it's about quality. And there's a lot of quality information in the deep web."
As a student, you want the best information without wasting a lot of time. If you understand the concept of the deep Web, you will be more efficient at finding information. You'll be able to find better information in less time.
