Overview

While the Internet has been called """"the world's library"""" for its enormous store of information, its maze of material can keep researchers from gaining quick and easy results. This guide aims to give tips for quick reference. The author has compiled and profiled more than 500 ready-for-reference sites. She examines the best subject directories, offers tips on the various search engines at your fingertips, explains how E-mail discussion lists and news groups can aid in reference, evaluates and categorizes each site, and suggests when to use such often forgotten tools as gophers, veronica and jughead. This book offers tips and tricks designed to help librarians satisfy their patrons on the spot.
