Editorial Review:

IM, e-mail, and chat reference is already here, but have you adapted your traditional reference interview and information provision skills to these new formats? ACRL online trainer and popular Internet workshop leader Diane Kovacs has assembled this handbook to help reference librarians develop the communication skills and resources they need to work effectively in the virtual reference environment. The handbook shows how to adapt traditional face-to-face reference interview skills to the virtual interview and how to interpret and use new cues (chat slang, IM shorthand, emoticons, etc.) to better serve your users. For both chat and e-mail transactions, Kovacs outlines strategies for analyzing the question, conducting the interview, developing a search strategy, and delivering sources. There is guidance for selecting the best information format for users and delivering content in a timely and valuable manner. This practical guide offers everything reference librarians need to move from the face-to-face to virtual transaction with ease.

Great reference for stressed MFC programmer 5 out of 5 stars.
7 of 7 people found this review helpful.

This book is written in a question and answer format, just like a FAQ. Although the content predominantly revolves around documents and views, many other common questions are also answered.

Personally, I love the format and the content. I hate having to weed through several huge books to find an answer to a simple question. I loaned out my previous copy, and it wasn't returned. I ended up buying another copy.

While this book won't make you a guru, it just might save you an hour of frustration. Since I migrate between operating systems, APIs, and SDKs, I never put in the time to earn the title of MFC Guru, so this book comes in handy, especially when it comes to refreshing my memory, without having to plow through the MFC code.

Unfortunately, this book is not all-inclusive, as many questions are left out. The "new" controls are left out entirely. However, even with the omissions, the book will give you a straight answer or point you in the right direction about 90% of the time.

Highly recommended.

Editorial Review:

Specifically designed to help programmers solve their MFC programming problems, in the most efficient way possible, this book, provides readers with ways to save several hours or even days of frustration looking for the right answer to a pressing question. A CD-ROM contains more than 100 sample programs demonstrating the various solutions discussed in the book.

A revelation 5 out of 5 stars.
23 of 23 people found this review helpful.

I've used Yahoo for years, but I never knew what I was missing until I took a chance on this book. It's definitely worth buying! The book treats Yahoo like more than just a Web site....like an online service. I'm using Yahoo even more than I did before, and getting more out of my online time. I never knew about Yahoo Companion or how to talk with somebody for free, anywhere in the world....I've got my family across the country using it now, and saving money off the phone bill. Very useful book....lots of humor....really opened my eyes to Yahoo.

Editorial Review:

Yahoo! For Dummies, 2nd Edition hits the shelves with refreshed information on Yahoo!'s most popular and useful features. Author Brad Hill covers registering for Yahoo!, customizing it to deliver the content of one's choosing, and getting a Yahoo! e-mail account. The book also guides you through using Yahoo!'s Web page design and hosting service (GeoCities), it's multimedia broadcast center (Broadcast), and its variety of shopping and financial services.

Editorial Review:

Going beyond the technical coverage of computer and systems security measures, Information Assurance for the Enterprise provides readers an overarching model for information assurance for businesses, government agencies, and other enterprises needing to establish a comprehensive plan. All the components of security and how they relate are featured, and readers will also be shown how an effective security policy can be developed. Topics like asset identification, human factors, compliance with regulations, personnel security, risk assessment and ethical considerations are covered, as well as computer and network security tools and methods.

. .

This is one of the only texts on the market that provides an up-to-date look at the whole range of security and IA topics. In post-9/11 times, managers and IT professionals need to address a wide range of security-related issues, and develop security systems that take all these diverse factors into account. As someone who has worked extensively with the U.S. State Department and other governmental agencies, Corey Schou is uniquely positioned to write the definitive book on the subject; and Daniel Shoemaker is a professor and consultant to the Department of Homeland Security in matters of Information Assurance policy.

Editorial Review:

This is your guide to building Internet applications and user interfaces with the Mozilla component framework, which is best known for the Firefox web browser and Thunderbird email client. Programming Firefox demonstrates how to use the XML User Interface Language (XUL) with open source tools in the framework's Cross-Platform Component (XPCOM) library to develop a variety of projects, such as commercial web applications and Firefox extensions.

This book serves as both a programmer's reference and an in-depth tutorial, so not only do you get a comprehensive look at XUL's capabilities--from simple interface design to complex, multitier applications with real-time operations--but you also learn how to build a complete working application with XUL. If you're coming from a Java or .NET environment, you'll be amazed at how quickly large-scale applications can be constructed with XPCOM and XUL.

Topics in Programming Firefox include:

• An overview of Firefox technology
• An introduction to the graphical elements that compose a XUL application
• Firefox development tools and the process used to design and build applications
• Managing an application with multiple content areas
• Introduction to Resource Description Files, and how the Firefox interface renders RDF
• Manipulating XHTML with JavaScript
• Displaying documents using the Scalable Vector Graphics standard and HTML Canvas
• The XML Binding Language and interface overlays to extend Firefox
• Implementing the next-generation forms interface through XForms

Programming Firefox is ideal for the designer or developer charged with delivering innovative standards-based Internet applications, whether they're web server applications or Internet-enabled desktop applications. It's not just a how-to book, but a what-if exploration that encourages you to push the envelope of the Internet experience.
