Outstanding book on the tough-to-teach topic of Web searches

Bryan Pfaffenberger's Web Search Strategies is by far the best Web search book I've seen yet. I teach an introductory World Wide Web class, and am also a librarian. This book concisely presents strategies for various types of searches (quick, subject tree, searching trailblazer pages, "deep searches" using AND, OR and NOT operators, and specific tips for the search engines including Lycos and Infoseek. Also included are tips on searching subjects such as Reference, Government Information, and searching for software to download. A great book that helps whittle information overload
