Synopsis

For those tired of techno-hotshots running virtual circles around them in cyberspace comes this practical crash course primer, a book that offers skill-building concepts and instructions specifically for library ""newbies"". Written by the founding editor of the popular ""Internet Homesteader"", once a print journal and now available on the World Wide Web, ""Basic Internet for Busy Librarians"" should be a useful catch-up for the late starter. Tapping into her experience teaching Internet skills to librarians and library school students, author Laura K. Murray guides readers through modular tutorials that address specific library tasks and protocols. This readily accessible reference and training tool is designed for Internet novices in libraries of all types and sizes. After three or four hours with the chapter on HTML, for example, a children's librarian new to the Internet can compose a department page for the library Web site.

About this title

Review

"If you are still looking for an on-ramp to the information superhighway, this is the book for you... Each area is introduced well enough for readers to get started and feel comfortable discovering more on their own. Step-by-step exercises take beginners by the hand... The excellent organization and thorough table of contents eliminate the need for an index."
