Information Trapping: Real-Time Research on the Web

Author: Tara Calishain

How many times have you run a Google search that resulted in thousands of results? With 8 billion pages online and more every day, it's increasingly likely that the Web contains the information you're looking for---if only you could find it. With Information Trapping: Real-Time Research on the Web, Tara Calishain makes researching more efficient for the thousands of academics, journalists, scientists, and professionals for whom the Web is an indispensable tool---as well as bloggers, genealogists, and other hobbyists with a passion to pursue. She does so by teaching the latest techniques in creating ongoing information-gathering systems that are as automated as possible. Instead of the usual static, single instance of finding information, she demonstrates how to use RSS feeds, page monitoring tools, and other software so readers can move from browsing to setting up streams of data that they'll capture and review.
