Searching and Researching the Internet & WWW - 2nd Edition (Searching and Researching)

Rating:
Summary: Excellent for beginners
Review: I used this book in a graduate course last summer. Its strength is in the activities that it provides. There are step by step instructions that make it easy to learn how to research. The language is fairly straight-forward. The only drawback is that because of the ever-changing Internet, some of the web links used in the exercises are no longer valid or active. Aside from that, it's a good, solid reference for finding validity and reliability on the Internet.
