Contrary to other books, this one has none of the hype regarding Internet as a research tool. It points out strengths and weakeness on subject areas and provides useful exercises for practice. Covers all the important areas and tools. It is a must in any librarian, cybrarian and information specialist library.

We presently teach the Internet in our InfoPaths: Pathways to Information programme. This is our information literacy programme to both the general public and librarians. The information in this book is presented in a simple and clear manner. We found the summary and screen dumps useful not to mention the step by step guide to doing hands-on exercises. Certainly the authors knew what every information specialist needed! This book has become our "bible" and has been referred to often. Highly recommended.

Learn how people are taught to search and research the Internet effectively if you want the public to visit your website. Simple and easy-to-read and not in technical language; obviously written by people who teach the subject.This is an excellent supplement to articles and guidance material aimed at Internet marketing.
