Description: This title is an exposé of the myth that the Internet is a complete reference tool. The issue is not what you cannot find on the Internet, but what you miss if you only consult it. Anecdotes from the author lend a personal element to the practical advice in the book. This new edition includes a chapter on the problems posed by artificial intelligence.
Review Quotes:
"Previous edition praise: Chernow builds a philosophical argument for using library resources for research, rather than relying exclusively on the Internet. . . . This readable volume is much less a how-to guide for conducting effective research than a well-thought-out exploration of the philosophical problem of conducting research in the information age." --Choice Reviews
"Previous edition praise: [A] critically important instructional reference book for aspiring authors, as well as anyone else engaged in a research project of any kind. . . . Thoroughly 'user friendly' itself, Beyond The Internet should be considered essential reading for all aspiring authors and is a core addition to any professional, academic, and community library research reference collection." --Midwest Book Review "Previous edition praise: What a delight young researchers are missing if they don't take their fill from the granaries of libraries--books, manuscripts, journals, archives, collections, correspondence, photographs. By comparison, the Internet is as intellectually scant as People magazine. Read Beyond the Internet and learn how to make the knowledge of the Internet yours!" --Charles J. Shields, Biographer
