How to be a great online searcher, demonstrated with step-by-step searches for answers to a series of intriguing questions (for example, “Is that plant poisonous?”). We all know how to look up something online by typing words into a search engine. We do this so often that we have made the most famous search engine a verb: we Google it—“Japan population” or “Nobel Peace Prize” or “poison ivy” or whatever we want to know. But knowing how to Google something doesn't make us search experts; there's much more we can do to access the massive collective knowledge available online. In The Joy of Search, Daniel Russell shows us how to be great online researchers. We don't have to be computer geeks or a scholar searching out obscure facts; we just need to know some basic methods. Russell demonstrates these methods with step-by-step searches for answers to a series of intriguing questions—from “what is the wrong side of a towel?” to “what is the most likely way you will die?” Along the way, readers will discover essential tools for effective online searches—and learn some fascinating facts and interesting stories. Russell explains how to frame search queries so they will yield information and describes the best ways to use such resources as Google Earth, Google Scholar, Wikipedia, and Wikimedia. He shows when to put search terms in double quotes, how to use the operator (*), why metadata is important, and how to triangulate information from multiple sources. By the end of this engaging journey of discovering, readers will have the definitive answer to why the best online searches involve more than typing a few words into Google.

Hartman and Ackermann (both, Mary Washington College) offer a work on how to search for information on the Internet. They thoroughly overview Internet searching and discuss search tools and strategies: directories, search engines, and specialized tools; searching for news and multimedia; and citing and evaluating Internet information. The strength of this book is the hands-on chapters that contain examples meant to appeal to students from a variety of disciplines. Each chapter contains practice exercises designed to allow readers to master fundamental search skills. Additionally, the chapters are compartmentalized, allowing readers to skip materials they feel are unnecessary or with which they are already familiar. The target audience for this book is readers with little knowledge of Internet searching and those who desire a primer on this topic. However, this book is also a helpful resource for any level of Web searcher because it contains in-depth information on current search engines and their features, as well as other relevant Internet search tools.
