Instant Genius! Internet Research
Information Technology Without The Technical Jargon
 |
Instant Genius! Internet Research By Maria O'Daniel Published by Pelanduk Malaysia |
Are you looking for information online by putting keywords into a search engine and feeling frustrated at your lack of success? Rest assured that you're not alone.
Information online is growing at a tremendous rate. In fact, cyberspace is expanding so rapidly that nobody really knows how big it is. There is no single definitive guide to what is available. Even companies that have created the largest and most popular search and index products with catalogues of several hundred million web pages admit that they are covering only a small part of what is available.
Instant Genius! Internet Research will help you build effective search strategies that can save you hours of time and effort when searching for information online. Written in simple, non-technical English, this book explains the differences between search facilities, gives lists of starting places, offers tips on how to find the right search terms, and discusses related research topics such as how to bookmark sites, cite online resources and evaluate information offered online. In addition there is a special section devoted to guiding young children to use the internet safely. Each subject is discussed without all the technical jargon that makes many computer books confusing.
