This book addresses the growing problem of how to sort the quality sites from the mass of junk available.

search engines
subject catalogues and directories
rating and reviewing services
subject-based gateway services
virtual libraries.
Information and guidance about the new Resource Discovery Network, the potential role and usefulness of metadata in locating quality information, and using web 'citations' for retrieving quality material have also been added to this edition.
