Book Reviews of Find It Online, Fourth Edition: The Complete Guide to Online Research (Find It Online: The Complete Guide to Online Research)
Book Review: Best book so far I read on online research
Summary: 5 Stars
I have read , Information Trapping by Tara Calishain(read my review), Mastering Online Research by Maura Shaw and now, Find it Online.
In my opinion , Find it Online is the best. I learned so much more about online research from it then the previous 2 books. That not say, that I didnt learn anything for Information Trapping, it is great for information that need constant updating and Online Research, I learned to use advanced searching more effectively.
But Find it now , gave me a plan, even before you begin to search online, that will in the long run save you time. And it convinced me that for real important research, a combination of a fee based service with free online searches are the only way to go. I have and still do have an aversion to paying for anything that could be had for free but Alan Schlein makes a good argument to use it when there is a lot at stake.
Now, for my negatives, although the book indicated that it was revised 2006, a lot of the information is dated and has not be revised. The book still talks about ICQ, and he never talks about You Tube even though that has revolutionized the internet, not one word and this was revised last year? And how about myspace and facebook? Looking for someone in their 20 or so age, that is the first place to look. Not one word, revised last year?
But the great information makes up for this,and some typos. It is worth the price and I look forward to the next revision but before buying I will check to see if he included all of the lastest web advances. I hope Alan and his people do not get lazy and do minor changes , that will be a shame.
