[LM_NET] GEN: print vs. electronic resources

[Harry Willems <hwillems@SEKLS.ORG>]

Casey Suddarth put me on to this website;  the initial chart is excellent 
for determining which type of resource to use, but the information timeline 
below has even more information - very relevant to this topic.

As an event develops, information about it is being generated and 
disseminated.  The first reports will show up on the Web, on TV, and on the 
radio Those first reports focus on getting the quick facts of who, what and 
where. As time passes, information filters through different types of 
resources. The level of coverage increases and becomes much more detailed 
and analytical. The timetable below outlines this process:

I know I'm late here but just thought I'd send this link that helped me 
with an understanding of print vs. electronic so that I could better help 
students.  It basically chronicles the evolution of information and 
explains about the type, the author, and the audience.  Well, see for yourself.
