Information Sources In Science And Technology, 3rd Edition (Library And Information Science Text (Paperback)) Available To Downloads
Intended to introduce readers to the breadth of information sources in the fields of science and technology as well as to their applications, this book offers in-depth coverage and a clear presentation of the structure of the literature. It covers all types of reference materials-from abstracts, dictionaries, and indexes to biographical directories, dissertations, and government documents. Descriptive and evaluative annotations define the scope of each work, its intended audience, and its special features. Critical comments allow users to compare sources and make choices between similar titles. Two major changes have been made in this edition. First, the range of publications has been updated to cover newer material. Second, myriad electronic-especially WWW-sites have been added. In general, works published before 1991 are not included, making this a current and selective guide. Valuable as a textbook and a guide to the literature, this book is also useful for collection development.

that's it. there is some material in the book on resources available on the 'World Wide Web', but what's there is horrifically out of date; and in the, what? - *11 years* since the book came out, a lot of those resources have changed hugely in content and scope. i think now no one expects a url to be 'forever'. it's generally faster to employ a search engine to locate a resource even if one knows the correct url anyway. but it is *way* past time for changes and additions to that information.the information on print resources available is good, but could also use an update. some of the resources described are now 'electronic only', and if not, the electronic versions are generally the more up-to-date.for retrospective work, this is as good a book as it ever was.
