Synopsis
As the amount - and quality - of information available on the Internet continues to expand dramatically, students not only need to learn Internet searching skills, but to develop literacy and critical thinking skills as well. This workbook uses active larning to help students discover how to find information on the Net, and assess the accuracy and relevance of all information they retrieve. Incorporating easy-to-follow explanations, graphic illustrations, eight hands-on practice sessions, and dozens of screen captures, the book teaches students - at their own pace - how to: develop efficient search strategies; analyze evidence, assumptions, and logical arguments in Internet sources; and use appropriate citation styles.

Reviews
This workbook by an Internet librarian seeks to provide instruction and practice in developing skills to locate a variety of information resources on the Internet, apply critical evaluation to select relevant, good-quality data, and identify bias and personal opinion in full-text online material. The eight lessons encompass a basic orientation to the World Wide Web and Netscape, basic search techniques, WWW search engines, Internet sources for news, government data, and educational resources, E-mail resources including listservs and Usenet newsgroups, computer-use ethics, copyright issues, and guidance in citing digitalized information in footnotes and term-paper bibliographies. Basic definitions provided in the text are duplicated in the glossary. Online practice exercises accompany each lesson. New instructors may benefit from the book as a planning guide. Since most of the content is readily available on the Internet, however, more savvy teachers may prefer to virtually point their students to specific URLs and spare their students the cost of this workbook.ABetty J.
