Internet Access Books

Many of the web sites were no longer at the URL in the book. Very frustrating, certainly not worth the money.

The Internet is the greatest and most expedient resource available in obtaining medical and legal information. But where do you begin? Do you spend hours using search engines, hoping you find that site perfectly suited to your case? Ask your colleagues? You can spend literally hours even trying to find the starting point for your Internet research.

Instead, save your precious time. This newly revised and thoroughly expanded directory will take you right where you need to go. This unique directory is a comprehensive compilation of over 3,000 web sites designed to assist attorneys, physicians, legal nurse consultants, case managers, life care planners, risk managers, paralegals, insurance claims investigators and medical/legal research specialists. The 79 chapters of medical sites are organized by medical specialty, and each listing includes bullets explaining exactly what data can be obtained at each site. In the legal section, you'll find research web sites, attorney directories, dictionaries, journals, schools, libraries and much more. At 688 pages, this directory will be your invaluable guide to the Internet.

Everyone in your office is going to want this book, and once you start using it, you won't know how you managed without it. Stop wasting hours using search engines, hoping to find the exact site you need. This matchless guide will take you exactly where you need to go.

Over 3,000 web sites unleashed through this invaluable reference over on-line resources:

* Broadly endorsed by national medical-legal experts * An invaluable reference for everyone who provides medical-legal research and litigation support * All net site data includes succint descriptions * Sites are alphabetical by medical specialties, and fully indexed and cross referenced * Saves you time-it is like having extra staff

All-Out-Internet Access sets out to be a planning tool to assist public libraries with the installation of Internet services. At the time this book was published it was current with terms and technology. However, it is now behind not only in terms and technology it mentions, but also with the prices quoted and url's listed. Part three of the book, Step-by-Step to Internet Service, is still timely. The worksheets in chapter nine of this section regarding defining users and their needs, which services to offer, and choosing system specifications are still applicable and useful. Chapter ten briefly touches on establishing Internet use policies for patrons and issues regarding censoring of the Internet. This book does not go in to great detail as to the problems encountered after a library has begun offering Internet services. This book still has pertinent ideas for planning out how to implement Internet services in a library that has yet to do so.

Although the information contained in this book is valuable, the layout is poorly designed and the language is very difficult to understand.
I recommend this to anyone who is looking for information about authentication systems, bu remember, this book is not complete (for instance not a word about SSL) nor easy to read.

Only! if you know nothing about Acces and want to learn the basics to make a very simple database, Buy it.

This book does a good job of explaining how to use the most common features of Office-2000. The author develops the each section in a systematic way. This book is helpful if you are new to the Office environment.

If you have been using Office-2000 or an earlier version, unfortunately this book does not add much to what you already know.

Users who are looking for more advanced applications of Access, Excel, or Outlook Express, this book is not for you.

I would have also liked if the author had talked a bit about FrontPage.

This is a good book if you are new to computing and the Internet. If you are worried that everytime you turn on your computer someone is watching, this book may scare you more. Either way, this book will give some good advice regarding security.

Unfortunately, the book does not present a balanced view when it comes to whether or not you should implement most of the measures. It seems a little common sense is more valuable than many of these security measures.

I wish they had some statistical backing as to the chances of anyone of us becoming a victim.

But still, this is a good book for the laymen who hears all these buzz words (viruses, cyberthief, etc), and doesn't know what they mean. This will help anyone get a clear understanding of the possible threats to your computer and your information

I love all of you, know all of you, feel all of you, I guess, and want to be part of this energetic, riveting, (ravishing) smiles :) project <> I know two minds are better than one {power received is power achieved} {flexiblity} {strength} {ethics} {need/fullfillment} {smiles (or a dream} {faith} {a vision} TWO Example only says expert please help: new equipment really {yields} worth, {A} simple thought: a new foundation overcomes ridiculous deceit. I am coming with you, i dont know how.

The book has some utility as a basic guide; but there are too many outdated links. On the cover, an address is given for "Updates available online to keep you current", but that address is outdated and refers to another page, where there are no links to new military Web sites. The index could be better.

This book has two problems: First, it's out-dated and second, Mr. Patel writes in a sophmoric, anecdote-ridden style.
If you're really looking for a practical guide to direct access service providers and markets, I suggest you contact the research departments of your local full-service brokerage firm and ask for industry reports on the subject. There's several firms that have published 20-65 page reports that explain every point of a direct access trade* from start-to-finish.
Save your money, and pass on this one.

* direct-access service providers, broker/dealer, clearing, markets & market systems, etc.

in his first book, mr. patel tried to write something he obviously knew nothing about. which only proved he is destined for life on the streets. and that he smells.

like all the black girls at the office say: "Simit? Uhhh, he so fine" ...and, really, thats how I feel about this book. It so fine. I am looking forward to the follow-up called Indirect and Unaccessable Execution: SuperDOT my ass!.

Don't buy this book unless you want to turn out like me. This book got me fired from 4 consecutive jobs. I panhandle now. This book also got me divorced and then orphaned my children. Reasonably priced though.

I honestly do not know what the author is talking about. In every chapter he just beats about the bush without providing any useful information.

If it is a chapter on Tradescape (the title of the chapter is actually Tradescape) - the author provides a snapshot of the screen and goes on talking in general terms about investment portals, ECNS, their usefulness, price consideration, history, anything except how to use Tradescape.

If it is chapter on SOES - it does not have any reasonable description of how it works and what to do with it from either technical or trading perspective. The only two pieces of information which are provided in the chapter on SOES are completely wrong - i.e the book says that the maximum number of shares in SOES transation is 100 when it is actually 1000. 5 minute rule is also interpreted incorrectly - the author does not explain that the transactions in the opposite direction are allowed within 5 minutes (i.e buy after sell or sell after buy).

I did not find a picture of Level II screen in the whole book. How can one possibly talk about SOES, SelectNet, SuperDot, ECNs without even showing what information is available on Level II.

What a piece of junk!

I learned some useful stuff, but now that stand-alone routers can be bought at appliance stores for the price of a VCR, this book is mostly obsolete.

There's at least 100 pages of filler (a glossary and a quickly obsolete list of ISPs), which says something unflattering about a book.

I have read this book already some time ago and I consider the language used messy and hard to catch up. If the book would have been written in more structured way, it could be pretty useful.

I read this book when it first came out in the beginning of '96 and I think it's still pretty informative today. It's a bit outdated now, but there's good practical information for people who aren't network professionals, but are computer-literate and are interested about learning more about networking, the internet, etc.
