Publisher's Synopsis
Using electronic resources to do research can save time and money, yet they can frustrate users with barriers to access and dead ends. This book aims to help users feel comfortable with a variety of electronic sources such as CD-ROM references, E-mail, the Internet, electronic library catalogues, and commerical online sources( like America Online, Compuserve, Dow Jones and Prodigy). The book contains strategies and helpful tips based on the author's own experience doing research as a professional writer, as well as information on hardware and software needs, and where and how to begin looking. It also includes advice on how to avoid electronic copyright violations and a glossary of terms and acronyms.
