Summary: Go beyond any search engine
Review: To the average person who uses the Web, Google is probably her perferred tool for searching. But there is much data still unaccessed by any public search engine. These may reside in subscription-only databases. Or totally offline, in books and journals, where in part for copyright reasons, these have never been put on the web.

Finally, there are the researchers in the social sciences. By now, these are locateable via Google. But how does one cluster them? That is, who are the key ones of interest to you?

The book describes how to use the Internet for social science research, in ways that go beyond any search engine. You can find here what the most relevant web sites are, and how to find the top researchers. Plus much more.
