Reviews

Gilster's Internet Navigator was one of the best Internet guides of 1993. Is Finding It a worthy follow-up? Absolutely. Gilster dissects Internet tools like WAIS, gopher, and MOSAIC like a knowledgeable surgeon, providing excellent examples and understandable descriptions along the way. Finding It is a logical next step from an overview like Internet Navigator. In crisp detail, its ten chapters cover archie, gopher, Veronica, WAIS, World-Wide Web (and MOSAIC), HYTELNET, whois, and E-mail. Although one could argue that the future of the Internet depends on the Clearinghouse for Networked Information Discovery and Research (CNIDR)-the topic of the last chapter-Gilster certainly has a talent for explaining the Internet well. Lots of examples make this book enjoyable; turn one page and you'll find a Thai recipe, turn another and you'll discover a weather map. If you're dazed by Internet tools, this is your best relief. If you think you're a real Internet expert, read this to learn what you really don't know.

There's no table of contents on the Internet, and print directories list only a fraction of the available resources. With step-by-step instructions accompanied by sample screens, this book explains an array of finding tools that will help you look for resources yourself. Gilster, author of The Internet Navigator , writes primarily from the standpoint of the dial-up user and even shows those who have only E-mail access how to search with electronic mail. He explains how to use search tools (the computer does the searching) such as Veronica, and browsing tools (the person does the searching) such as the World Wide Web. He also describes searching for library catalogs using HYTELNET, LIBTEL, and LIBS and shows various ways to look for addresses. For all Internet collections. Sandy Whiteley

Store Description

Seit �ber 30 Jahren handeln wir mit B�chern. Begonnen hat alles als kleiner Fachbuchhandel in Berlin. Heute sind wir spezialisiert auf den An- und Verkauf gebrauchter B�cher. Noch immer liegt unser Fokus dabei auf den Kategorien: Fachbuch und englischsprachige Literatur. Hinzu kommen B�cher aus allen anderen Genres, wie Belletristik, Biografien oder Kinderb�cher. Unser oberstes Ziel ist dabei die Weiterverwendung von Dingen und die Schonung von Ressourcen. Neben dem Ankauf von privaten B�chern oder Haushaltsaufl�sungen kaufen wir bundesweit komplette Bibliotheken und Buchbest�nde von Institutionen auf, um diese nachhaltig ein weiteres Mal auf den Markt zu bringen. Parallel dazu bietet Buchpark die M�glichkeit, gro�e Mengen einzulagern. Ganze Bibliotheken und umfangreiche Buchbest�nde werden von uns professionell auf Qualit�tsmerkmale hin untersucht und sorgf�ltig f�r den Onlinehandel aufbereitet. Wir schenken B�chern ein zweites Leben.
