Groups that publish information on the Web include:

Libraries - That's right, Libraries are major producers, suppliers and purchasers of quality information on the Web. The National Library of Australia has an Archive site called "Pandora Archive" where they place online Australian publications selected for National preservation.

Universities - Universities put entire classes online as well as providing space for their staff and students to produce Web pages. Much of the information you need to enroll and register for classes can be found on the Web.

Government Agencies - In order to make information available to more people, federal, state and local governments are publishing many documents on the Web. You can even complete and lodge your e-tax online.

Companies - Many companies publish financial documents and press releases on their sites. The Web is also a major marketing tool for many companies to provide information about their products.

Organisations - Organisations have agendas and opinions that they want you to know about.

Interest Groups - The Web has global representation. With a computer and a phone connection, anyone can publish on the Web and this can sometimes be a problem in terms of quality.
