Meet the Internet
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
What Paul Gilster points out about web surfing works for FINDING IT ON THE INTERNET in general. Like all sites, search terms and tools are created differently so get to know them but be picky and patient: the Internet can have a waiting line. Keep the little black bookmark list of favorites up-to-date. Be as specific as possible with search terms, but be willing to change them regularly. Look over your shoulder when dealing with relevance rankings and title searches. Keep up with the paperwork: organize results into topics. The author's nicely organized and written book surfs well with Phil Bradley's INTERNET POWER SEARCHING, John R Levine's THE INTERNET FOR DUMMIES and MORE INTERNET FOR DUMMIES, Valerie Quercia's INTERNET IN A NUTSHELL, and Roy Tennant's CROSSING THE INTERNET THRESHOLD.
