If you're looking for federal government information on the Internet, there's no better guide than this book.In this updated edition, investigative journalist Bruce Maxwell describes more than 600 federal Internet sites, mailing lists, and other resources that offer a huge array of information for free. In simple, easy-to-understand language, Maxwell explains how to access the sites and what they offer.
Maxwell logged in hundreds of hours online to produce detailed descriptions, explanations for accessing each site, what each site offers, searching tips, and advice on where to start a search for federal government information. There's fun to be had as well -- sites such as "The Comet Observation Home Page" and "Volcano World" as well as the myriad of NASA sites were not overlooked. He has even included a glossary, should any unfamiliar web lingo crop up.
"In-depth descriptions and addresses of . . . federal Internet sites and resources help draw a clearer map of our government's spur on the information highway."
-- PC Magazine
"This modestly priced book will be useful in academic, special, and public library reference collections as an aid to librarians and patrons, as a guide to creating bookmarks to specific Internet sites, and to individuals as a desk reference."
