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.

From the Publisher:

This small, easy-to-read guide is designed to be an adjunct text for courses with Internet components. It explains how to connect to the Internet through university computer systems, detailing the information students need to know to begin exploring the information superhighway. All major Internet protocols are covered, beginning with electronic mail and continuing with group communication mediums such as USENET and research tools such as the World Wide Web. Each chapter describes one or more Internet protocols, explains the basic techniques for using the protocols, gives demonstrations, and suggests assignments.
