Summary: Basic Web Information
Review: The "Grantwriter's Internet Companion" is a short compendium of online sources for grant money. The book is targeted mostly toward primary educators, and (despite the title) others will probably find it of limited use. I'm in psychology higher education, although I did find a few useful tips. Primarily, however, the book serves as a basic primer for seeking internet information. The first chapter talks about websites and search engines (oddly, it does not include google). Subsequent chapters discuss in more detail some education-specific sites. In reading this book, I was hoping to find some new and "secret" information imparted; instead, it directs the user to fairly well-known sites. If you haven't used the web much, then this book will probably be somewhat useful (I'd bump it up a star for these users). However, persons who are already web-savvy will likely find little new information here.
