Book Description
An essential guide for anyone who conducts research on the
internet—including librarians, teachers, students, business

resources. From the latest online tools to the new and enhanced services
offered by standbys such as Google, the major search engines and their
myriad of possibilities are thoroughly discussed. This revamped fourth
edition also features chapters on fact-checking sites and popular social
networking sites as well as a collection of up-to-date screenshots for
visual reference. For those with little to moderate searching
experience, friendly, easy-to-follow guidelines to the world of Web
research are provided, while experienced searchers will discover new
perspectives on content and techniques.
