"As a true insider & veteran of the software business, I am always skeptical of books that are supposedly going to make my ability to use an emerging technology easier and/or more efficient. So, when I received my copy of Find It Online, I immediately put it to test. I looked up important but obscure reference sites in the book that I knew extremely well. To my pleasant surprise, not only did the book give me the correct details on the site, it referred me to similar sites that I had never discovered thru other sources. In fact, these additional sites proved to be better than the ones I had been relying on for months! I don’t have time to check several sources for what I need online so now I will simply rely on Find It Online."

"For both the novice and the verteran, Find It Online is the essential tool for unraveling the information overload. There are many 'how to' guides available, but few are written by experienced, in-the-trenches reporters. Find It Online replaces chaos with order and frustration with accomplishment."
- Gregory Harness, Librarian, United States Senate
