I borrowed this from my workplace library. I was interested in looking it over since we are planning on implementing a blog at work. For me, a lot of the information in it is material that I already know or have seen in other online sources. Therein lies a weakness of the book, or pretty much any book about online tools like blogs: by the time it hits print, a lot of it is already outdated or the conditions online have changed. The coverage of Blogger is a good example given Blogger's recent changes. So, that is why I gave it only two stars.

However, I will say that for people who have minimal knowledge of blogs and rss that this book would provide an excellent jump point. It has a lot of visual elements as well as good explanations. For libraries considering a blog and that have not seen a lot of this phenomena, the book is a good resource. However, for veterans, odds are good you already know what's in it.

Here is a practical guide to searching Google that you can use immediately and create lessons and helps for young people using this search engine when they think they already know how. It will astound both you and them what we don’t know when we just get on and type in whatever comes to our mind about something we want. Chapters with lots of illustrations cover web searches, videos, news, images, maps, blog searches, Google scholar, patents, books, and alerts including a chapter on all kinds of tips and tricks. Well worth the price and it can be used by your iTeam to increase their expertise to share across the school.… (mais)

This was a really helpful textbook (!!). I learned a lot that I didn't know about the web and going through some of the exercises (like making a search plug in) were awesome, and super helpful. I feel more at home on the web now, and I'll have some cool tricks up my sleeve as a librarian.

This review was written for LibraryThing Member Giveaways.
The internet is constantly changing and books like this are needed to see that we get the most out our browsing experiences. Much of the material in this book I did not know and it will serve as my guide and teacher as I explore the depths of the Internet…that is until they come up with something else that’s new and better. But I’m sure when that happens, Michael will come out with a follow-up book!
