Subject: SUSPECT: RE: SUSPECT: Re: Going Beyond Google: the invisible web in learning and teaching
It might be worth suggesting a review thru Ariadne (www.ariadne.ac.uk), for which the publisher usually supplies a review copy I think?

> Google isn't up to the task when it comes to serious
> research, and though your users and students have heard of
> the 'invisible', or 'deep' web, they probably have no idea
> how to tap into it. You need practical tools and strategies
> for teaching them about the web sources and specialized
> databases they will never find using everyday search engines.
>
> This book will show you in simple, non-technical terms how to
> integrate the invisible web into teaching opportunities
> wherever they occur - in a one-on-one 'teaching moment' at
> the reference desk, or in a formal course. Estimated at 500
> times the size of the visible web, the invisible web and the
> search skills needed to plumb its depths should be a part of
> every information literacy and research skills course. With
> this book you get expert teaching tips and scripts for
> informal instruction, plus model activities and assignments
> for the classroom. Key areas covered are:
>
> * searching habits of students and other cohorts
> * characteristics of the invisible web
> * the visible versus the invisible web
> * analysis of results from a model research assignment
> * use of the invisible web at the reference desk
> * use of the invisible web in Blackboard
> * techniques for teaching the invisible web.
>
> Statistics and summaries of relevant research will help you
> combat myths like 'Searching is easy', or 'Everything
> important is free'. Read this book too, to find out how the
> best deep web search tools, including CompletePlanet, Closer
> Look, and the Librarians' Internet Index, are evolving and
> what it all means for your library's future electronic
> collection development plans.
