The Reference Librarians Guide to Mastering Internet Searching
I’m planning on being very open when it comes to this next book. To get started, if you’re interested in seeing what sort of sites I’ll be covering, check out the search tag in my del.icio.us account.
I’m also looking for a good place to start putting up my notes for the book so that folks can read and comment on them. Maybe a wiki. Maybe another blog. I’m just not sure yet. All suggestions are welcome.
As for the title, it’s not final. Why? Well, the original plan was to do an update to my Using the Internet as a Reference Tool book but my head is starting to veer away from a direct update. With all of the new resources that are out there (podcasts, flickr, data visualization, video) I’m thinking that just updating the previous book isn’t going to cut it.
