Of the many books I have read and own on this subject, this one flows the best and is the easiest to read. That said, this book does not speak to the technical in terms the hows/whys of resources.

How customer reviews and ratings work
Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

- Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2016Outdated by nine years but still useful.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2016Probably good for a novice. Was hoping for something outside the norm.
Written well, but no hidden insights.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2014Outdated and inappropriate for graduate level online research. (Required text)

- Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2007I have read , Information Trapping by Tara Calishain(read my review), Mastering Online Research by Maura Shaw and now, Find it Online.
In my opinion , Find it Online is the best. I learned so much more about online research from it then the previous 2 books. That not say, that I didnt learn anything for Information Trapping, it is great for information that need constant updating and Online Research, I learned to use advanced searching more effectively.
But Find it now , gave me a plan, even before you begin to search online, that will in the long run save you time. And it convinced me that for real important research, a combination of a fee based service with free online searches are the only way to go. I have and still do have an aversion to paying for anything that could be had for free but Alan Schlein makes a good argument to use it when there is a lot at stake.
Now, for my negatives, although the book indicated that it was revised 2006, a lot of the information is dated and has not be revised. The book still talks about ICQ, and he never talks about You Tube even though that has revolutionized the internet, not one word and this was revised last year? And how about myspace and facebook? Looking for someone in their 20 or so age, that is the first place to look. Not one word, revised last year?
But the great information makes up for this,and some typos. It is worth the price and I look forward to the next revision but before buying I will check to see if he included all of the lastest web advances. I hope Alan and his people do not get lazy and do minor changes , that will be a shame.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2005I purchased this book as a requirement for an English class. The information set forth is interesting and well written, but it can be difficult to find what I need.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2009I like to use [...] to do online research. I'm able to outsource my research for low costs to other individuals and due to its low cost, ease of use, and massive workforce, I can get all my research done, for a pretty cheap price! When I need preliminary research done for a paper these days, forget google! I use [...] !
