    4 out of 5 stars An objective viewpoint about how to find information.......2007-02-28

    First of all, I should say that I really enjoyed reading this book. It is written in an informal way, which is really nice for people whose mother language is not English (like me). When you read this book, you feel like Phil Bradley is speaking to you personally and it's a real pleasure.

    Basically, The advanced internet searcher's handbook shows you how to get information from the web with simple and clear examples. The book covers nearly all kind of research on the internet. The main ideas that come out of this reading could be summarized in one sentence: Don't trust a unique web engine and keep checking information with other sources of information. The book clearly shows the drawbacks of search engines such as Google. For example, a whole chapter is dedicated to the hidden web (not accessible to Google).

    I conclude by saying that this book widely covers basics of search engine (the advanced in the title is certainly too much) and has very interesting chapters about weblogs, mailing lists and newsgroup. To my mind, the chapters about finding people and search tips are useless (straightforward). Finally, the author is a librarian, not a computer scientist. Therefore, the "how to find information" aspect is very nice, but the "how to use the web" is often less interesting (e.g. the finding people chapter).

    4 out of 5 stars goes far beyond simple searching.......2005-08-07

    The book goes beyond the performing of a simple search query at Yahoo, Google or other search engines. For example, Bradley offers suggestions regarding finding information about people on the net. Helping you craft more directed queries to the search engines, for example.

    Plus, he explains how there is still a lot of information not accessed by the search engines. Commonly called the hidden web. [Think Lexis/Nexis or the Science Citation Index.] Typically you can get paid access. His advice is useful in explaining the existence of several large commercial caches, and how you might get to them.

    Then, he also talks about meta search engines. That take a query and spin it out to various actual search engines, and collate the results for you. Very useful.
