Edited by Robert Berkman, The Information Advisor’s Guide to Internet Research explores, evaluates, and provides critical analysis of free and fee-based online data and information resources and shares professional search strategies to help researchers identify quality and credible research sites and compare competing sources. Topics include evaluations of subscription business databases, comparing news sources, surfacing useful government sites, new open sources, big data, AI & algorithms, media/information literacy strategies, the evolving online information environment, mis and disinformation, and the changing roles of librarians and information professionals.
In addition to at least one feature by business research specialist Berkman, each issue of The Information Advisor’s Guide to Internet Research includes these regularly rotated columns; Cool Tools gives readers suggestions for valuable internet tools to check out; Common Good shares sites that provide helpful resources to benefit the public; the third, Scholar's Web, identifies and reviews sites to turn to for more scholarly research purposes. Brian Smith McCallum, M.L.S., public and academic librarian and Jessamyn West, a well known librarian, technologist, writer and activist, are the key contributors to these columns.
Robert Berkman is a faculty member of the School of Media Studies at The New School (New York, N.Y.) and author of several books on effective research, including, Find it Fast: Extracting Expert Information
from Social Networks, Big Data, Tweets, and More, 6th Ed. (CyberAge Books, 2015).
