Product Description
Written by a professor of computer science and a reference librarian, this guide covers basic browser usage, e-mail, and discussion groups; discusses such Internet staples as FTP and Usenet newsgroups; presents and compares numerous search engines; and includes models for acquiring, evaluating, and citing resources within the context of a research project. The emphasis of the book is on learning how to create search strategies and search expressions, how to evaluate information critically, and how to cite resources. All of these skills are presented as within the context of step-by-step activities designed to teach basic Internet research skills to the beginner and to hone the skills of the seasoned practitioner.

A Must For Internet Business October 10, 1999
4 out of 10 found this review helpful
Learn how people are taught to search and research the Internet effectively if you want the public to visit your website. Simple and easy-to-read and not in technical language; obviously written by people who teach the subject.This is an excellent supplement to articles and guidance material aimed at Internet marketing.
A Gift for every Information Literacy Specialist! August 4, 1999
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
We presently teach the Internet in our InfoPaths: Pathways to Information programme. This is our information literacy programme to both the general public and librarians. The information in this book is presented in a simple and clear manner. We found the summary and screen dumps useful not to mention the step by step guide to doing hands-on exercises. Certainly the authors knew what every information specialist needed! This book has become our "bible" and has been referred to often. Highly recommended.
Best I've read so far on doing research on the Internet. March 5, 1999
11 out of 11 found this review helpful
Contrary to other books, this one has none of the hype regarding Internet as a research tool. It points out strengths and weakeness on subject areas and provides useful exercises for practice. Covers all the important areas and tools. It is a must in any librarian, cybrarian and information specialist library.
