About The Information Jungle

ORIGINALLY, the Internet was compared to a highway but this implied something that's well organized and familiar to everyone.  In actuality, the Internet more closely resembles a complex jungle ecosystem, particularly if you do not have a technical background.
The Information Jungle is a Web tutorial specially designed by a librarian for anyone who needs to use the Internet for university-level classes.  By completing a series of seven short, self-paced lessons in plain English, you will gain a good, basic knowledge of what the Internet is and how to use it for your research.  You only need to know how to use a computer keyboard and a mouse to begin!
It is recommended that you complete the lessons in the order given for best results.  There are study questions for each lesson and a list of further resources if you want more to explore.
As you go through the lessons, watch for these graphics:
