About this title

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.

Review

Praise for the first edition "Using the advice and tips in this guide will greatly improve one's efficiency in using the Internet. Information specialists are not the only ones who will benefit from this book; anyone who searches the Internet for information as part of their research will find it useful." 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
