Albuquerque, NM --
The popular Internet research manual The Cybersleuth's Guide to
the Internet has been completely updated and expanded. The new 9th edition
features extensive reviews of the best investigative and legal research
resources available for free on the Internet. Unlike others guides which
present sites as little more than a list of links, this book offers tips on
how to effectively use those sites and includes over 100 screen-shots to
illustrate the step-by-step usage of many of the sites discussed.

The new 9th edition, has 40 pages of new information over the 8th
edition. Each Web resource discussed in the book has been re-tested and its
description updated, as have nearly all of the book's screen shots. The new
9th edition also boasts a new chapter covering free and low-cost “Technology
Tools & Tips” that legal professionals can use in their practices and has
also been expanded to include the newest Internet research resources such as
Justia and social networking sites.
Even with all of this added information, users can still easily find the
web sites they're looking for by jurisdiction, topic (e.g. Employment,
Labor, or Tax Law resources), or by Web site name, by using the guide's
comprehensive index. Despite growing by nearly 20% over the previous edition
— there is no increase in price.
“Anyone can benefit from usage The Cybersleuth’s Guide to the Internet,
regardless of their previous Internet usage. This guide is a useful tool for
every legal professional, legal educator, law student, business person, or
consumer handling their own legal or investigative matter," said Carole
Levitt, the book’s co-author. "For the beginning searcher, it covers many
overlooked features of Web browsers, the 'mechanics' of navigating the
Internet, and basic research strategies and tools. For 'power searchers,' it

"Whether you're a business person or a legal professional, keeping pace

your competition," continued co-author Mark Rosch. "The content of the 9th
edition has been tested and re-checked immediately prior to publication to
