Synopsis

The invisible web is growing - but users' knowledge and awareness of it isn't. This highly practical guide focuses on strategies and teaching tools for getting more out of the 'deep' or 'invisible' web, enabling students and users to tap into the wealth of material that isn't to be found on Google or other mainstream search engines. This book builds upon the authors' previous well respected book, Going Beyond Google, which placed teaching the invisible web into information literacy programmes. Going Beyond Google Again expands on the teaching foundation laid in the first book and continues to document the invisible web's existence and evolution, and suggests ways of teaching students to use it. Focusing on up-to-date materials and tools on the web and recent research into search habits, this book covers key topics including: * the invisible web today * studies of information seeking-behaviour * teaching the invisible web: theory and practice * how to make students better researchers * teaching resources * tools for mining the invisible web * the future of the invisible web. Readership: Librarians, teachers and LIS lecturers will find ample support, research and resources to take students beyond the limitations of traditional web searching. Students and researchers will find new tools and techniques to unlock the power of the invisible web and go even further beyond Google.
