We live in a digital age, where we can access a ton of information with the push of a button. Because of that, it's important to understand the differences between print and online resources. Many resources, like journal or newspaper articles, can be found in both formats. However, a lot of what you'll find on the Internet does not have a print equivalent, which means that it has no or low standards for publication. You can literally write whatever you want on the Internet, and it becomes the reader's job to determine whether or not it is factual and reliable. Understanding the major differences between print and online resources will thus help you to evaluate what you find.
