Synopsis

For information specialists - researchers, librarians, and those whose work involves working with information - this text shows how to find answers to research and reference questions, as well as how to find e-mail addresses, maps, and shareware programs. Several different types of information resources - subject guides, search engines and specialized databases - are discussed, along with research skills and strategies. Help in evaluating sources is provided. Step-by-step activities are provided for most of the major search engines, directories, virtual libraries, and other information resources on the Web and the Internet.

Reference Reviews "This guide is essentially a textbook that would be optimally used in a hands-on classroom setting by computer and Internet novices, but experienced Internet librarians will appreciate its detailed, methodical approach . Motivated students and public library patrons may also find it useful." Library Journal
