Resources are organized broadly by category. The second edition includes additional information on e-mail, hoaxes and viruses, and search engines and search strategies. It adds about 300 Web sites to those found in the original edition. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.

The author presents both the challenge and the opportunity provided by the Internet as a reference tool. His objectives include being able to "access, evaluate, and navigate Internet sites with the speed, efficiency, and comfort level" librarians and patrons have enjoyed with print sources. Chapters provide background on the impact of the new technology for reference solutions and offer an excellent comparison of print and Internet resources that will aid in justifying the need for both. Information on creating effective reference strategies and a discussion of search engines and directories are included. The chapter on evaluation of reference resources outlines six points for librarians to consider when adding a print source to the collection and describes how these same factors are considered with Internet sites. Chapter five can be adapted as a teaching tool for teachers and others who need to learn strategies for accessing Internet information. There is also a site listed with links to all the resources included in this book.
