Book Description

Publication Date: July 2004

Searching & Researching on the Internet & the World Wide Web 4th edition, by Ernest Ackermann, a computer science professor and Karen Hartman, a reference librarian, is a welcome update to the field of Internet "how-to" books. As it is updated every two years it does not fall behind in this rapidly changing field. The content and organization make it useful for independent study or as an Internet course textbook. Logically organized, it begins with chapters on basics introducing the Internet and the Web, browsers and bookmarks, before progressing to research skills and tools. Each chapter includes detailed activities designed to demonstrate the tools, services, or resources being discussed in the chapter. The authors are good about encouraging readers to adapt and to use their newly learned navigation skills should they encounter differing results from those presented.

Green Trees - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Searching & Researching on the Internet & World Wide Web, 4th Edition (Paperback)

I purchased this book for a Library Science class. It was kind of boring and it seemed like you can learn most of the info on your own although I did learn a few new things.
