Product Details

Product Description

From Booklist

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

Book Description

In this updated and expanded second edition of her popular guidebook, Searcher columnist Irene E. McDermott once again exhorts her fellow reference librarians to don their pith helmets and follow her fearlessly into the Web jungle. She presents new and improved troubleshooting tips and advice, Web resources for answering reference questions, and strategies for managing information and keeping current. In addition to helping librarians make the most of Web tools and resources, the book offers practical advice on privacy and child safety, assisting patrons with special needs, Internet training, building library Web pages, and more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Recommended for the unique needs and problems of a librarian, Nov 14 2002
This review is from: The Librarian's Internet Survival Guide: Strategies for the High-Tech Reference Desk (Paperback)
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.
