By 1999, however, even as it had become a traditional online research tool for people worldwide, the need for a printed version of Cyndi's List had become more and more apparent. Libraries and Family History Centers also expressed a need for the printed version of Cyndi's List , since with the book version next to each computer terminal, library patrons would be able to spend their limited time online in a productive manner. Like the first edition, it is designed to reduce the time you spend online by narrowing the focus of your search. With the sudden and explosive growth of genealogy on the Internet, the possibilities for research have become almost endless, but Cyndi's List allows you to impose some useful controls on this exciting new phenomenon, turning the vast body of data on the Internet into a manageable research tool, one you can feel, touch, and read even when the power is turned off. Each web site is categorized into one of more than 100 topics.
Some sites have a sentence or two describing the information that can be found there. . . .
I'm directly interested in, but this book gives you a much better opportunity to look over the whole site and come across things you never imagined existed. Despite the advantages of the Web, this book is much easier to browse than the Web site . . Well, there are literally tens of thousands of family historians who aren't expert navigators of the Internet. All rights reserved.
