Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This book deserves more than 5 stars for making the Internet fully accessible to anyone for a minimum of cost in time and money.
If you have enough skill to turn on your computer and get onto the Internet, this book will take you where you want to go in the fastest, least frustrating way. Within hours, you will be more efficient and effective than people who have done online research for years, but have not yet read this book.
Although Web addresses and sites will change, the best basic methods of how to do research online will shift much less often. You should be able to apply what you learn from this book for some time to come.
Some of the many helpful things you will learn include:
(1) which search engines work best for which kinds of questions
(2) how to get the fewest possible sites from a search with the greatest likelihood that they will be helpful to you
(3) which sources of information to go to directly without a search first
(4) how to assess the credibility of a source
(5) how to get things for free that most people pay for
(6) when to spend money to save time
(7) how to manage your e-mail to spend less time on it.
You will also benefit from three sample search models in chapter 12, one for finding a person, another for doing a business profile, and a third for problem solving. Most of your searches will involve one of these three search types.
An area you may not think about now is what people can learn about you while you do your research. The sections on privacy issues and how you can protect yourself are outstanding.
About a third of the book is devoted to indexes to make it easier for you to find government public records and the right Web site for your research needs.
Even though I have been doing online research for many years, I plan to keep this book next to my computer from now on. If you read many of my reviews, you will notice that that is something I rarely say about a book.
After you have finished learning how to do better and faster online research with this wonderful resource, I suggest that you step back and think about new questions that you should be asking now that you have improved access to good and timely information. For example, should you be doing more to check out investments? Or should you be learning more about becoming a better parent? Or spouse? Asking and answering those questions will probably be the biggest payoff you can get from this very helpful guide.
Be rich in knowledge and turn it into wisdom!
