Ford offers the answers to the question of how to find interesting web material for your research and it is clear that here is where Ford’s expertise comes through. Personally, I use mainly Google, Picarta and some catalogues of universities and research institutions. Ford offers a number of additions to my repertoire. In addition to Google, he includes SciVerse Scopus and Web of Knowledge and advises that a systematic search strategy should constantly be evaluated and, if necessary, adjusted.

Well structured, thorough, accessibly written and presented, Nigel Ford uses lots of charts, diagrams and step-by-step guides to steer the reader... It is primarily targeted at undergraduate and postgraduate students who will definitely find it invaluable when setting out on their dissertations and theses...That said, this guide will prove equally useful for professional researchers in any field...Overall I consider this a very useful and timely book. Indeed I wish I'd seen it many years ago.

An excellent text which gives researchers the theory of research design and the knowledge and insight to be able to practice and master the skills. This is an essential read for any researcher looking to use the internet for primary, secondary or tertiary study.

Mr Paul Matthews

I would recommend this book to my Master as well as to my PhD students as an essential guide for systematic research using the Web.

Professor Alfred Zimmermann

Great text to accompany composition courses. It asks good questions about our uses and understandings of the internet in relation to writing.

Dr AmberNicole Pfannenstiel

This book provides a detailed and thorough guide for structuring diploma projects at any level. It would also be helpful for semester research projects in cases where the students are proficient users of English.

Ms Shala Barczewska

Excellent addition for supplementary reading.

Mr Martyn Jarvis

This book could be useful to prepare the syllabus but not as an essential reading for the students. We are not improving practical skills but a critical knowledge about limits and opportunity offered by the web for research.

Dr Valentina Bazzarin

A very good text that helps students develop digital literacy skills empowering them to critically select appropriate material via the internet. Highly recommended

Mr Stuart Agnew

Easy to read and very comprehensive.

Ms Victoria Heywood

This book is targetted to predominantly novice researchers and takes the student through the stages of writing a proposal/assignment/thesis using web-based information systems. For older students who are less technology savvy, this text is a must.

Dr Rachel Taylor

Clear and accessible for students 'new' to using the web for research. An elementary book but with clear accessibe text and valuable links.
