Recensione
'In eight chapters several authors summarise the availability of sky surveys in the X-ray, far-utraviolet, optical, infrared and radio bands, and explain how they may be accessed on the Internet. The book contains much essential information not available in collated form elsewhere ... the book is essential to all working in astrophysics during the first few years after 2000.' A. D. Andrews, Irish Astronomical Journal
'The authors have performed a valuable service by bringing this comprehensive introduction to on-line archives to a wider audience ... I recommend it as the starting point for anyone ... There is treasure in these archives and here is an outline map with which to find it.' Clive Davenhall, The Observatory
