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 |
of Internet service providers. This is a single-purpose book, telling how |
to choose a connection and get online. It doesn't try to teach you how to |
use the 'net once you're there. That is graceful in its simplicity. |

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. |
