Internet Technologies and Information Services

Why another book about the Internet? The answer is simple: while there are a number of excellent books on various aspects of networking, the Internet, HTML, Web design, Web programming, XML, and Web searching, there is not a single survey text that explores each of these topics holistically in the context of the knowledge and skill needs of those preparing for careers in any of the many information technology (IT) intensive fields such as library and information science (LIS), business and management information systems (MIS), and decision science (DIS), to name but a few. Part I focuses on the technologies of the Internet. Part 2 focuses on the many forms of Internet content and how it is created. Part 3 is devoted to the topic of Internet information retrieval.

"The extensive Bibliography and the Glossary of Computer and Technical Terms/Vocabulary contained in the book are very useful. This monograph is a precise survey of all the aspects of Internet exploration as currently experienced. Internet "Technologies and Information Services" would be a good text for learners interested in an introduction to this field and a helpful addition to any collection on the internet and Web searching." -
