The Internet is a massive collection of information that can be valuable to you, but because it's so large and uncontrolled you need to use special strategies to use it effectively.
Because the Internet is easy to access, you may be tempted to use it as your only source of information on your topic. But in doing so, you could be overlooking some important knowledge that is only available in print or on an audiovisual resource.
Not all information is created equally. You must be careful not to think that "Just because it's published it must be true." How can you tell if information is reliable? There are some easy questions you can ask yourself. See the section on building critical reading skills here.
