Today we have access to more information -- and as a result, potentially more knowledge -- than ever before. But sorting through all this information is difficult, if not impossible. Now one book offers a selective gathering of the best tools available for accessing and managing information.

Over 400 items -- some newly developed, some tried-and-true, but each considered the best in its class -- are clearly and honestly described. Entries include notes on why each item was selected; important details such as price, age level, and how quickly each item may be obsolete; and where to go for more information. With material compiled by high-profile contributors, and a simultaneous edition available with CD-ROM, Informatica is sure to be the definitive info-reference for the next millennium.
