Riassunto

Despite all the hype about how easy the Internet is to use, and how almost anything can be found, unless the user is a skilled searcher, this is far from the case. This handbook contains information on how to use the Internet more effectively. It aims to provide a better understanding of how search engines and related software work in order to improve search techniques. The book contains visual devices such as screenshots, step-by-step examples, side bars, icons and search tips, as well as useful websites and valuable utilities. The main topics covered include: main search engines; other available databases on the Internet; intelligent agents; virtual libraries and gateways; how to get the best use out of popular browsers; USENET newsgroups and mailing lists; and future developments of the Internet. The book is designed for both experienced and novice users of the Internet for information. Although it pays particular attention to the use information professionals can make of the Internet, it should be of use to anyone who wishes to find information quickly.
