Abstract:
World Wide Web, as a public source of information, contains enormous amount of data in
different formats. This paper critically examines four web-based information storage formats
and the searching mechanisms being used in them. The scope of this paper is limited to
HTML, XML, PDF and Image format. It describes briefly the leverages and perils of using
each of these formats and critically compares their support systems. The paper also offers
advice to Librarians to enable them to manage web-based information in a better way for
their users by using suitable format(s).
