Searching And Researching On The Internet World Wide Web

Bol Partner

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.
