Revised URLs for 8th Edition of "The Cybersleuth's Guide to the Internet"
No matter how often we update "The Cybersleuth's Guide to the Internet," resources on the Internet change more often. So to help keep book owners up to date, from time to time, we include changes to the current edition in our free e-mail newsletter.
Owners should note:
8th Edition
FirstGov.gov - page 166-7 URL is now: http://www.usa.gov (This is the main entry in the book for this Federal government portal. Check the index for other incidental mentions in the text.) Rapsheets - pages 115 & 143 URL is now: http://www.knowx.com/rapsheets/ (We first reported the Choicepoint purchase of the Rapsheets criminal records database in 2004. The move to integrate the Rapsheets Web site into the the KnowX domain is a recent occurrence.)
These sites have also appeared in previous editions of the book (titled "How to Use the Internet for Investigative & Legal Research"). Owners of those editions should check the index of their copy to see which pages these sites appear on.

8th Edition available for purchase
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 screen-shots to illustrate the step-by-step usage of many of the sites discussed.
