Synopsis

Much of the information that was once only available to professional researchers from expensive, fee-based sources is now available for free on the Internet, if you know how to find it. There s more to conducting a comprehensive search for information on the Internet than just relying on the results returned by search engines, though. The Cybersleuth's Guide to the Internet will show you how to be your own cyber-detective and unearth this information for FREE (or at low cost!) on the Web.

The Cybersleuth s Guide to the Internet includes numerous examples based on real world research scenarios. Whether you re just starting to use the Internet for serious research or you re a seasoned online research veteran, this book can help you find what you re looking for fast and free.

For "novice searchers," the book covers many overlooked features of Web browsers, the "mechanics" of navigating the Internet, and basic research strategies and tools. For "power searchers," it covers more advanced search strategies, and uncovers tips and tricks for getting the most out of many of the sites discussed.

- Learn How to Search More Effectively
- Discover Quick and Easy Methods to Access Information from Public Records & Publicly Available Data
- Learn Why Social Network Sites and Twitter are Becoming the Latest & Greatest Investigative Tool To Obtain Useful Background Information and for Jury Selection (Juror Research)
- Using the Internet for Substantive Legal Research

Review

This book is an excellent investment for anyone who is serious about doing online research. I am a professional online researcher and have been for many years. I recently attended a seminar where Ms. Levitt and Mr. Rosch presented. The seminar was based on this book. I found them to be very knowledgeable, well organized up to date and professional. Their presentation very closely follows the book. I think the acid test of any such presentation is if someone very familiar with the material can learn something new and useful from the presentation. I know I learned enough that I am very satisfied that i got my money's worth. I think you will too. --James A. Cronin, CFE; Seattle Insurance & Legal Investigations; seattle-investigations.com
