The Invisible Web, also known as the Deep Web, is a huge repository of underutilized resources that can be richly rewarding to searchers who make the effort to find them. Since Jane Devine and Francine Egger-Sider explored the educational potentials of this realm in Going Beyond Google: The Invisible Web in Learning and Teaching, the information world has grown even more complex, with more participants, more content, more formats, and more means of access. Demonstrating why teaching the Invisible Web should be a requirement for information literacy education in the 21st century, here the authors expand on the teaching foundation provided in the first book and persuasively argue that the Invisible Web is still relevant not only to student research but also to everyday life. Intended for anyone who conducts research on the web, including students, teachers, information professionals, and general users, their bookDefines the characteristics of the Invisible Web, both technologically and cognitivelyProvides a literature review of students' information-seeking habits, concentrating on recent researchSurveys the theory and practice of teaching the Invisible WebShows ways to transform students into better researchersHighlights teaching resources such as graphics, videos, and tutorialsOffers an assortment of tools, both public and proprietary, for trawling the Invisible WebLooks at the future of the Invisible Web, with thoughts on how changes in search technology will affect users, particularly students learning to conduct research

Library Journal Review

This update of the authors' 2009 study (Going Beyond Google) of the invisible web (IW) has three sections: an update of their initial overview of the IW and of search behavior; a look at web-mining tools with a glimpse at the future; and a middle section on how IW use can make students better researchers. The book is based on the authors' review of IW discussions in the Science Direct (Elsevier) literature; interviews with authors of IW and information literacy works; and a survey of educators and librarians on teaching the IW. Of particular interest are the survey results that validate Devine and Egger-Sider's thesis that the IW should be taught and that uncovers gaps in the respondents' knowledge about the information search engines exclude, and the striking graphical representations of the IW they share. -VERDICT Chapter summaries and extensive citations make this an attractive choice for students. It should also be of interest to librarians and anyone interested in optimizing their research resources and strategies.-Sara R.
