In updating the 1991 edition, Armstrong (U. of Northumbria at
Newcastle, England) provides an evaluative guide to the escalating
number of major information sources available online, CD-ROM
databases, and newer alternative resources such as Campus-wide
Information Services. Also included are an annotated bibliography
(covering hardware, software, retrieval services, search techniques
for different fields, training, legal issues, and sources on how to
evaluate the quality of such products and services); and a listing of
relevant organizations (advisory, industry, and membership)
world-wide. Such resources have become essential tools for
researchers and information science professionals in navigating the
contemporary information explosion. Distributed by Books
International.
