[LM_NET] Percentage of human knowledge on Internet?

[Mike Weidlich <mike_weidlich@GBSD.GRESHAM.K12.OR.US>]

Hi Everyone:

I deeply appreciate the value of LM_Net!  I've been asking the following question, 
and haven't found anyone w/ any suggestions.  If any of you have any recommendation 
for resources that I could use to answer the following question, I'd be very
appreciative!

I was reading the article, "Why the Internet Is No Substitute For a Library" [ 
http://www.ala.org/ala/alonline/resources/selectedarticles/10reasonswhy.cfm 
]http://www.ala.org/ala/alonline/resources/selectedarticles/10reasonswhy.cfm, and 
the article
mentions that "8% of all journals are on the Web, and an even smaller fraction of 
the books are there."

I was just wondering if any of you have ever heard of an estimate of the percentage 
of information on the Internet compared to the total amount of human knowledge?

Thank you,
