5.0 out of 5 stars
Emphasizes Skills not Heft, January 4, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: NetResearch: Finding Information Online (Songline Guides) (Paperback)
Unlike so many books in the Internet/Computer field, this one does not try to sell itself with bulk. Many 400 page books contain maybe 50 pages of worthwile information and a lot of filler. This one follows the old maxim that it's better to teach a person to fish than give a person a fish. NetResearch gives a good overview of Internet research and teaches you how to think like a researcher. Since search tools constantly change, this book will not quickly become obsolete, because most search tool contain their own help pages to introduce the latest features. The understanding of how to choose and combine search methods and tools, however, is what this book is all about.
