Target: Information on study about Internet research

[Deb Logan <jd3logan@BRIGHT.NET>]

Happy New Year!

    This morning on the way to work I heard part of a news story on a
university research project.  The researcher's results indicated that
only 27 or 29 % of Internet research efforts resulted in reliable and
useable information.  The researcher also found 9% of the information on
Web sites to be completely bogus.  One of the factors that the project
took into consideration, was when "found information" did not truly
answer the research question.

    I would like to find the actual study results.  Do any of you know
of this study and where it can be found?
