Now extensively revised to reflect the dramatic growth of the Internet, this edition explores the new generation of graphically–based search tools designed for the World Wide Web and the Internet. It also features updated coverage of traditional UNIX search tools. You′ll not only find out how each tool works but learn research strategies to make each search as valuable as possible.
