Libraries Unlimited, 1994. This slim volume sets out to equip the novice with the basic tools necessary for selecting and offering electronic information sources in library settings. The book does not include technical or technological details. Although this type of book is much needed by librarians, this particular title does not meet the standards one would expect of such a work. The treatment of the topic is superficial and unsystematic, much of the information given is outdated, and statements are often imprecise.
Annotations are brief and informative.
This directory is more useful in public than in academic or research libraries. This is a directory of Internet related directories and primary Internet sources. It covers tools for Internet information retrieval, guides on how to use the Internet, lists which provide OPAC access, directories of e-mail, mailing, and newsgroup lists, ftp directories, and more. The World Wide Web, the fastest growing Internet service, is discussed only briefly. Taking into consideration that the Internet is changing at a rapid rate, one wonders how useful a printed directory of this type could possibly be.
