web resource Logos and Brands

Information and reference resources that operate as websites define the content of the “Web Resource” section. Wikipedia, Internet Archive, IMDb, Investopedia, and WebMD have created knowledge bases that millions of users turn to every day for reference information. Wikipedia, launched in 2001, has become the largest encyclopedia in history with more than 60 million articles in hundreds of languages. The logos in this section mark sites where information is systematized, available for free or by subscription, and updated by editors, experts, or a community of volunteers. Brands represent a layer of the internet that serves as a reference book, dictionary, and encyclopedia for the digital generation, which has replaced library catalogs with a search bar.
