About this title

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.
