The Internet and the World Wide Web have profound effects on the way we find information and do research - due to the increase in the amount of information provided by these facilities and the diversity of tools we have at our disposal for finding that information. This work employs an interactive approach that blends concepts with learning activities. It covers basic browser usage, e-mail, and discussion groups; discusses such Internet staples as FTP and Usenet newsgroups; presents and compares numerous search engines; and includes models for acquiring, evaluating and citing resources within the context of a research project. The emphasis of the book is on learning how to create search strategies and search expressions, how to evaluate information critically, and how to cite resources. All of these skills are presented as within the context of step-by-step activities designed to teach basic Internet research skills to the beginner and to hone the skills of the seasoned practitioner.

<p>This is the fifth edition of a leading selling college-level book for Internet research courses. Examples have been chosen to appeal to a broad spectrum of students and researchers across academic disciplines. It is much more than a catalog of search engines and their features. Both the free and fee-based (hidden) Internet is explored. The focus is on formulating search strategies, understanding how to form search expressions, evaluating information, and citing resources. Librarians, prospective and in-service K-12 teachers, and majors in business, math, or the sciences will benefit from it.</p>
