Notes: This small book focuses on choosing the best type of network
|
connection for your personal, school or business needs, and how to get the
|
best price for the type of access you require. Explains the differences

between SLIP, PPP, ISDN, X.25 and other options. Includes an extensive list

Notes: (This review covers the first edition.) An instructional package for
|
librarians teaching Internet basics. This book is useful for newcomers to
|
the Internet. This book is useful for trainers. This book is useful for
|
librarians. Ultimately, this book is most useful for those training
|
librarians who are new to the Internet. A newcomer to the Internet might
|
find this material a bit disorganized, but very definitely helpful and
|
useful. It is heartening to see the very strong emphasis on Internet
|
etiquette and culture which all too often gets short shrift, even in
|
introductory guides. The grouping of discussion lists and electronic
|
journals with e-mail is a logical extension which is not always made. The
|
work is not limited to the novice, though; many Internet users would find
|
the fact sheets to be a handy quick reference.
