Opis

Whatever is needed, from in-depth research material for a report or academic paper, to the telephone number of a company on the other side of the world or what is showing at the local cinema, this guide aims to help readers find the answer on the internet, faster and more easily. Rather than a directory, it is a simple-to-use guide that should develop readers internet skills by showing how to identify key words to search on, break through no document matching your query found, spot nuggets of gold amongst hundreds of sites, use electronic agents to find material for you, and make use of bulletin boards and newsgroups.
