…for a class I’m taking. It’s easy enough to read and has some good information in it. Some of the links it suggests are outdated, and much of the material is rather elementary. If you already know how to search on the internet, you probably won’t find much of anything new in here. It’s not a book I would have bought if I didn’t have to have it for this class.

Grohol and Zuckerman have compiled a wealth of data on all aspects of mental resources available online. From scientific research material for professionals to self-help sites for the layperson to FAQ fright-sites for specific disorders, this book covers it all. A worthy effort by the authors indeed, though I have not been able to get any of the links to work.

Excellent resource for optimizing ones ability to connect to the vase resources on the Internet/Web. Well organized, especially helpful to the new self taught cybernaut by providing concise explanations of terms/abbreviations

Very dissapointing text. Really only for the extremely computer illiterate. If you can operate a search engine and chat with colleagues about available resources this book will not help you at all. It includes the very basics about how to find psych websites, list serves, etc. If you know nothing about finding info on the internet you may want to pick this up. Other than that do not waste your time and money
