Price: $45
Pages: 168
Published: 2nd ed, 1994
For more information: [phone] or [e-mail]
Thanks for the info: Robert Slade <[e-mail]>
Notes: (This review covers the first edition.) An instructional package for
librarians teaching Internet basics. This book is useful for newcomers to
the Internet. This book is useful for trainers. This book is useful for
librarians. Ultimately, this book is most useful for those training
librarians who are new to the Internet. A newcomer to the Internet might
find this material a bit disorganized, but very definitely helpful and
useful. It is heartening to see the very strong emphasis on Internet
etiquette and culture which all too often gets short shrift, even in
introductory guides. The grouping of discussion lists and electronic
journals with e-mail is a logical extension which is not always made. The
work is not limited to the novice, though; many Internet users would find
the fact sheets to be a handy quick reference.

Thanks for the info: [e-mail] (J Matisse Enzer)
Notes: Promotional info says: One view of how the Internet has changed the
way some companies are doing business. Must reading for anyone looking at
the impact of the Internet on commerce and why Internet access is becoming
critical for businesses. Matisse Enzer says: Excellent overview and
detailed discussion of the Internet from a business users' perspective. An
entirely non-technical book, Doing Business discusses the commercial
aspects and issues of the Internet: advertising, research, customer

~Title: DOS User's Guide to the Internet
Author: James Gardner
Publisher: Prentice Hall
ISBN: 0-13-106873-3
Price: $34.95
Pages: 308
Goodies: DOS disk
Published: 1993
For more information: [phone] or [e-mail]
Thanks for the info: Robert Slade <[e-mail]>
Notes: A minimalist software package and manual for setting up a UUCP
connection for mail and news. This title is almost completely misleading.
This book is not for DOS users, except that you must be running DOS to run
the MKS UUCP for DOS programs for which this book is a manual. This book is
also not about the Internet, as such. Both the specifics and the concepts
refer to UUCP rather than the Internet. The text of the book does point out
that there are differences, but the examples given relate to UUCP. That
said, for those who are interested in making their first move to a direct
Internet connection, this could be an excellent choice. UUCP was designed
to be quite comfortable with dialup connections, and this book and
associated programs, help to automate a number of the connection functions
while freeing the user from much of the technical detail that TCP/IP
requires.

~Title: Driving the Infohighway - A Guide for VAX/VMS Users
Author: Gerald Neufeld
Publisher: New Fields Publishing
ISBN: ?
Price: $18.95 (US), $24.95 (CAN)
Pages: 296
Published: 1994
For more information: [phone]
Thanks for the info: Peter Scott <[e-mail]>
Notes: The book is for users who will be accessing the Internet via a
VAX/VMS host. It is designed for a reader who has some familiarity with
personal computers but who has had little or no experience in using the
VAX. It assumes that the user will be accessing the VAX using a VT-100 or
better terminal or terminal emulation program. It explains how to access
the VAX using a PC on the campus-wide ethernet LAN or by modem. The book
can be used as a tutorial for beginners. The novice user will find the step
by step instructions, practical examples, and glossary very helpful.
However, the book can also be used as a valuable resource for the more
experienced user.

Notes: Mike was the Multics system-programmer at Project Mac, and is
personally responsible for putting two systems on the ARPAnet back when
that meant hacking the OS designed and implemented a number of protocols
including being working-group chair, and has been a commentator on Internet
RFCs since the beginning. (He was also Dennis Ritchie's officemate before
Bell Labs pulled out of Multics & Dennis had to invent UNIX, and has a
personal exemption from Dijkskstra to use a GOTO when, in his professional
opinion as a protocol implementor, it is necessary.) This is a book on
style in protocol design and the great Bromdinagian TCP vs. ISO debates.
It's a nice piece of history and explains where TCP, TELNET, FTP came from.

Notes: Slade writes: I find it very difficult to define who, or what, this
book is for, but I would recommend it primarily to managers in charge of
large networks and possibly internetworks needing to evaluate email systems
with extended functionality. The title would suggest this is a discussion
of the basics of email. That is true only in the most simplistic and
superficial way.

audio/video, virtual reality, security issues and the future. Of necessity,
many of these are treated very briefly but as an overall introductory
manual, I found it very readable and informative.

Notes: This book is for the thousands of people who have "only E-mail"
access to the Internet and think all they're going to get is mail. I get
the impression this book is intended for people who have just been "given"
an account and perhaps a cursory description of how to send and read
messages. But we all can learn from it. It's amazing what you can do with
Internet mail if you know how to do it. Clay Shirky shows you how in this
very easy-to-absorb, non-overpowering title.

Notes: The Companion includes a detailed history of the Internet, a
discussion on "netiquette" (network etiquette), and how to find resources
on the net. It is difficult to know what is supposed to be "companionable"
about this volume. Physically, it would be easy to carry it along with you.
You probably wouldn't want to, though. This is not a guide for
explorations, either. It does give one some background on the Internet, but
it is not in a step-by-step fashion. (How to access the Internet is the
*last* topic to be covered.) The newcomer to the Internet will more likely
want to read it all (possibly at one sitting; it's small enough) and look
at the network gestalt. This work is somewhat less technical than the UNIX
biased "Whole Internet Guide". However, it goes too far in the opposite
direction. The authors boast that it was finished in less than two months.
It shows. Companies which are getting into the Internet in a big way might
make this the introductory volume for new users: it is generally upbeat and
non-threatening. However, help should be on hand when people actually start
using the net.

Notes: A grassroots guide to learning about the Internet. It takes the
clueless newbie and leads him from the fundamentals - like understanding
what the Internet is, how to connect and how addressing works - and through
the Internet's most important tools. This book doesn't cover any ground
that hadn't been trod dozens of times before by other everything-you-need-
to-know-about-the-Internet book ever written, but it delivers the
information in a lively, always interesting manner. No topics are glossed
over and the authors never get mired in the dirty technical details. This
book is intended for folks who will be accessing the Internet using a UNIX
command line prompt. If you are just trying to get started on the Internet,
but don't know which of 50 step-by-step hold-your-hand books in your
bookstore you should buy, The Internet Complete Reference won't disappoint
you.

Notes: A very complete introduction to the world of the Internet. Along
with the obligatory topics such as telnet, FTP and Archie, the book
suggests how to get an Internet account and teaches enough UNIX to survive
on the net. This book is more complete and in-depth than many other
Internet books: Dern's deep knowledge of all things Internet shines
through, although sometimes the book is a bit too formal. The book, like
Dern, is laced with dry humor and is UNIX-centric. Highly recommended.

Notes: Of the various glossaries and dictionaries of Internet jargon,
Internet in Plain English is among the most complete. Arranged like a
dictionary, it defines just about every term you're likely to hear on and
about Internet and UNIX, from "abbrev" to "îzine". It contains a lot of
technical terms that tech-heads bandy about relentlessly (like CSO name
server, ISDN, and OSI protocol suite) and can give beginners and
intermediate users a leg up in understanding what everyone's talking about.

Notes: This book is part quick reference, part lexicon and part Internet
tutorial. Arranged in dictionary format, it defines Internet jargon (like
shareware and hypertext) gives brief descriptions of tools (like Knowbot
and Listserv), includes short command summaries for using popular programs
(like FTP, emacs and elm), and describes various 'net organizations,
policies and legislature. Nice design and layout. This book contains a wide
variety of information, but is sort of unevenly edited and contains some
factual errors that might not be clear to newbies (for instance, in one
section it confuses the terms upload and download.)

Notes: Covers everything from net etiquette to supercomputers; very
comprehensive. This work is a fairly bare bones and no nonsense guide to
the Internet. The book is orderly, and the explanations and illustrations
are clear. Each chapter covers a single topic and ends with additional
references, most often online materials or sources. The work is well
researched and highly competent in most cases. There is, in the early
chapters, a gracelessness to it which lacks any kind of appeal.
Nevertheless, it is a thoroughly researched and valuable reference for
those interested in using the resources of the Internet. It costs $39.95
but schools and not-for-profit organizations can buy it for $19.95 plus
shipping.

Notes: Graham Rodgers says: "64-page guide to Internet basics. Very easy to
follow instructions, clearly set out. With the small size not everything
can be included but the price represents good value. The paper cover
deteriorates with use." I say: A whole lot of information for the money.
Well-presented, simple and above all, short. Covers "What is the
Internet?", terms, UNIX basics, e-mail, Usenet, FTP, rlogin and telnet,
finger, archie, gopher and veronica. Easy-to-follow examples. They'll sell
you just one, but the book is primarily intended to be sold to service
providers and distributed to their users.

Notes: David M. Stevenson says, "This book is written by someone who is
concerned that the reader get a good grasp of the Internet system quickly.
In my case he succeeded; and what he can do for me, he can do for you!" I
say: This book is a winner. It explains the basics of the Internet in a
clear and concise style. Covers the tools for reading Usenet news, doing e-
mail, using FTP, gopher and WorldWideWeb. Doesn't get into the newer,
funkier tools too much. It's an easy read and doesn't get bogged down in
esoteric, dull stuff. I even like the cover.

Notes: I used to think that this was absolutely the best Internet book for
Macintosh users that was ever - or could ever be - written. Then, the
second edition came out and proved me wrong. This book claims to be
"everything you need to get on the Internet" and it delivers: everything
from the software you'll need to get connected, to 1,000 pages of copious
knowledge. This is a fun, enlightening, excellent book. If you own a Mac
and are on the Internet (or want to connect) this is the one to get.

Notes: This book is an excellent resource dedicated to Microsoft Windows
users. It isn't quite as strong as The Internet Starter Kit for Macintosh
but is nonetheless a wonderful guide for teaching Windows users about the
Internet and getting them online. It contains all the software you need to
get online and explains how to use it. The book's resource listings, list
of newsgroups, glossary and PDIAL and nixpub lists are perhaps too thorough
- they take up about half the book.

Notes: Essays by people involved with the Internet. Strong on protocols,
weak on direction. The book is divided into four parts. The first section
deals with an historical and organizational background to the Internet. The
second section, written by the people who built the Internet, deals with
technical aspects of the major protocols and applications of the Internet.
Part three, "Infrastructure," covers issues not centrally relevant to the
operation of the Internet, but supporting its use: network performance and
management, backbone and node tools, directory services and operational
security. The bibliographic information contained in the book overall might
be worth the price alone. Quarterman's contribution is carefully and fully
researched and well organized. It includes not only texts, but periodicals
and online sources as well.

Notes: A thick book listing about 100,000 e-mail addresses. (Although that
may seem like a lot, it's not very comprehensive.) Addresses are listed by
last name and are also indexed by Internet domain name. This book may be
useful for finding associates' e-mail addresses, but is probably no more
useful than using one of the many 'net-based e-mail-address search
utilities. The book is unevenly edited (I'm in there three times!) and was
woefully out of date before the ink was dry.

Notes: The Internet Yellow Pages strives to be an unmatched subject-
oriented index to the Internet's resources, a lofty goal given the number
of competing indexes available. Hahn and Stout do it right - this book is a
resource that long-time Internet addicts and new users will enjoy equally
well. Organization is intuitive and consistent. Although it does not point
you to as many online resources as some other directories, the ones it
points to tend to be high-quality and truly interesting sites to visit.
Well-researched and well-indexed.

Notes: This slim book does an excellent job of helping those new to
Cyberspace learn the basic tenants of network etiquette, or "netiquette".
It's easy to read and loaded with interesting real-life examples. Chapters
cover netiquette of e-mail and of discussion groups as well as providing
excellent netiquette guidelines for business, home and school use.
Particularly useful sections cover Electronic Style (looking good online,
tone of voice and signature files) and the "core rules" of the online
world. One chapter covers copyright issues and another the etiquette of e-
mail privacy. There's even a tiny chapter on "Love & Sex in Cyberspace".
This book should be required reading for anyone collecting their Internet
Learner's Permit. (You can retrieve a brief excerpt from Netiquette: "The
Core Rules of Netiquette" by sending e-mail to netiquette-
[e-mail] with the words "archive send core" in the subject line.)
