Easy Read Great Information!

For those who are in the dark about Boolean operators, wildcards, and databases online this is the book for you. The book breaks down the search prcess and begins with the essentials for online searching then moves to database navigation then to types of databases and finally how to review and and teach others. Great illustrations and examples are found in the book as well as questions to answer at every chapter. While the material is basic, it is the essentials that are needed for great online searches and helping other find the information they need. After reading and studing this book, I find that my search success has increased greatly and I will keep this book for future reference.
