Publisher's Synopsis
An introduction to Internet resources, this guide includes step-by-step exercises with screen shots illustrating what the user will see on screen. It shows readers how to choose the right tool for the job, gather information, and communicate with others via the Internet. Emphasizing non-technical explanations, the book helps inexperienced users learn tasks such as: sending and replying to e-mail, subscribing, using and unsubscribing to mailing lists; understanding and using URLs; and browsing and searching the World Wide Web. Overviews of each lesson help the reader to understand what each tool does and why it is important. Learning objectives, examples, hints and references offer additional support, and special opportunities for colaborative learning.
