Review:
Any new student who is unfamiliar with the Internet or who wants to take advantage of more than just the Web and e-mail should have a copy of A Student's Guide to the Internet. Each chapter clearly explains a different online resource with a student-friendly bent, demonstrating what each resource can provide for educational purposes and how to access them. Topics include FTP, Gopher, Veronica, Usenet, and mailing lists. The glossary and bibliography are excellent sources of further information, and the section on citing Internet sources in academic projects is especially useful.
