About this title

Review

Like all the titles in this series, A Simple Guide to Searching the Internet is a handy, pocket-sized guide packed with almost as much information as door-stopping tomes on the same subjects. Originally published and produced in design-conscious France, these aesthetically pleasing guides have been translated into functional if sometimes puzzling English.

A Simple Guide to Searching the Internet includes information on the differences between various search engines, how to find media information effectively, ferret through virtual libraries, use meta-searches and utilise push technologies. The discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of various search engines and directories is a particularly useful part of this straightforward and informative guide. --Josh SmithEND
