| Publisher Description: With the world becoming increasingly more dependent upon the Internet, libraries offer an essential service by providing access to this worldwide network. To help their patrons, modern librarians must have a thorough understanding of this technology. Integrating the Web into Everyday Library Services: A Practical Guide for Librarians is a comprehensive guide to a variety of aspects of Internet use and research. The book is basic, assuming only a basic understanding of computer use and Internet research. This guide begins with: -a basic explanation of the mechanics of the Internet and World Wide Web, then moves on to -explore the variety of ways that a user can discover online information, -how information is stored online via the cloud, and -how a librarian can enhance his or her library's online presence. Later chapters explain: -how to use the Internet to communicate, -how to help patrons research and evaluate information, and -how to protect patrons and yourself from online dangers. The final chapter is devoted to helping librarians solve basic computer problems that their patrons may encounter, including troubleshooting Internet connections. |
