Internet Technologies and Information Services

Internet Technologies and Information Services

Joseph B. Miller
3/5 ( ratings)
Why another book about the Internet? The answer is simple: while there are a number of excellent books on various aspects of networking, the Internet, HTML, web design, web programming, XML, and web searching, there is not a single survey text that explores each of these topics holistically in the context of the knowledge and skill needs of those preparing for careers in any of the many information technology intensive fields such as library and information science , business and management information systems , and decision science , to name but a few. In so doing, this foundational text offers its readers both a comprehensive overview of basic counseling and tested solutions to a variety of technical situations. The perfect introduction for students lacking technological expertise while called upon to demonstrate a working knowledge of basic concepts and applications.
