Word Journal Wednesday – deep web article HIDDEN I thought the internet was big but fairly visible. I had no idea how much was really there but hidden. Most things seem to be there and free but they really aren’t. I Thought the articles we get free are really free. Is it true the library pays for them? Most people can’t see them? I chose hidden because I just learned there are lots of things I can’t see. So when I search Google there are results that somebody else might get that I don’t? CAT 14 – Assessing skill in synthesis and creative thinking
