Web Pages are unlimited in number. One of the main problems I find with web pages is that they are often not updated or not longer exist. It becomes very frustrating to find a web page, especially a school web page, and when you click on the links all of the sites are not longer available or have been moved.
The other thing that I notice about school web pages is the vast amount of differing information and or content. Some school media centers have a very simple web page with numerous resourceful links while others have numerous pictures and very little actual information that can be utilized.
I find that busy and cluttered web pages not only distract me but students also tend to avoid them because they feel they are bombarded with useless pictures and information that may or may not be appropriate for the web page.
The best web pages I have looked out tend to be the interactive ones. They work with you as you surf your way through the content. Web pages are here to stay with each passing day more and more come online while others are no longer available or are no longer supported.

Yeah I agree. Nothing is more annoying (well actually there are way more annoying things) than clicking on a link and you get the message "no longer available." Especially if the title is enticing and you thirst for the knowledge that awaits on the "other side." So as (future) media specialists, we definitely need to make sure that our links work and that the links to our links work.
