Using List View Web Parts
As stated earlier in this chapter, there really is no such thing as a "List View Web Part." List View Web Parts are what result when a new list or library is created in SharePoint. The Web Part is a full or filtered display of the list you created.
For instance, let's say you create a list of hyperlinks to the corporate web sites of all the companies you purchase from. You may buy only three basic products but use dozens of vendors.

Keep in mind that you can also connect your lists to other Web Parts and further customize how information is displayed.
