Overview

Written for aspiring power searchers , this manual introduces more advanced ways to find information on the Internet. Rather than simply discussing how to use search engines, Bradley explains that there are four types of search engines (free text, index- or directory-based, multi- or meta-, and resource or site specific search engines) -- and then shows how they can work for you. Full explanations -- and examples -- of exploiting search tools through relevance ranking and search term choices are offered. Clearly laid out for easy use during searching sessions, the text is packed with helpful screenshots, sidebars, icons, and searching tips. With recommendations for the most effective and reliable Internet tools, practical advice on configuring popular browsers, and tips for making the best use of software, this handbook is a must-have for librarians and patrons who search the Internet regularly.
