This is an excellent book in need of updating.

This is an excellent, well-written book. The strategies it details for finding information on the Internet should be very helpful to the starting searcher. Unfortunately, this book written too many internet-years ago, back in 1996. There is no mention of AltaVista or HotBot, and Inktomi, the search engine behind HotBot, is described as "one of the newer search engines on the Web." The discussion on "Preparing Your Browser" also makes good points, but it refers to Netscape Navigator 1.2. Of course, there was no Internet Explorer back then. In summary, kudos to the author as well as encouragement to bring out the next edition.

This book concisely presents strategies for various types of searches (quick, subject tree, searching trailblazer pages, "deep searches" using AND, OR and NOT operators, and specific tips for the search engines including Lycos and Infoseek. Also included are tips on searching subjects such as Reference, Government Information, and searching for software to download. A great book that helps whittle information overload
