Reviews

[A] very useful reference for building discipline-, course-, or assignment-specific Web pages....will be useful for the public, but librarians can also use to build excellent reference Web pages. Should be especially helpful in libraries serving students from the junior high-school through lower-division undergraduate levels.-Booklist/RBB
Bazler's ambitious work creates order out of chaos by organizing and analyzing some of the best Internet chemistry resources....Recommended. Undergraduates, graduate students, faculty, and professionals in chemistry.-Choice
Both of the books (Chemistry and Biology) reviewed in this series are tremendous resources becuase of the amount of information that they have in one place for lessons or projects on the Internet....For a classroom or library media center with limited computer access, these print resources will help teachers and students to find electronic resources.-Library Media Connection
Excellent reference tool for high school and college science collections, loaded with sites sure to be lasting.-MBR Internet Bookwatch/Library Bookwatch
This book is an excellent resource for science middle and high school teachers.-E-STREAMS
