Editorial description(s):

From
Subscribers to Searcher magazine will recognize these chapters as a collection of "Internet Express" columns about useful Web sites and related advice on a wide range of topics. McDermott personalizes her resource annotations with comments on some of the authors and compilers as well as her sometimes saucy summaries of the content. Some chapters offer practical advice on using Web-based e-mail wisely, teaching tips, developing Web pages, and basic computer troubleshooting. Librarians preparing sets of topical reference pages for their own libraries will find many useful suggestions among the numerous Web resources recommended here. Library science students preparing library Web sites for course projects could use this book as reference. RBB

Reader review(s):

Recommended for the unique needs and problems of a librarian, November 14, 2002
Deftly edited Barbara Quint (Editor, Searcher Magazine), The Librarian's Internet Survival Guide: Strategies for the High-Tech Reference Desk by Irene E. McDermott (Reference Librarian and Systems Manager, San Marino Public Library, California) is a useful and "user-friendly" instructional guide, especially written for librarians concerned with how they can get the most out of computer search engines, how to find people and public records with a minimum of fuss, tracking down both current and dated news, cyber-shopping, web-based email, creating web pages, computer troubleshooting, and much, much more. Although written and especially recommended for the unique needs and problems of a librarian, this very practical primer can also come in quite handy for any lay user still adjusting to the onset of the information age and what school and community libraries can offer them.
