Abstract: This study examines user perceptions of the quality of information found on the Internet using an instrument that builds on prior research identifying dimensions of data quality. Surveys of graduate and undergraduate students taking MIS courses were conducted. Differences were found in the graduate and undergraduate student ratings for four dimensions of Internet data quality. The results suggest that at least some users are aware of the relative strengths and weaknesses of information published on the Internet and that educational experiences have some effect on perceptions of the quality of information published on the Internet.

Keywords: Internet data quality; business students’ perceptions; internet data quality; educational experiences.
