Summary

This book will show you in simple, non-technical terms how to integrate the invisible Web into teaching opportunities wherever they occur--in a onje-on-one "teaching moment" at the reference desk, or in a formal course. With this book you get expert teaching tips and scripts for informal instruction, plus model activities and assignments for the classroom. Statistics and summaries of relevant research will help you combat myths like "searching is easy," or "everything important is free."
