I only received one response from someone who actually had _The Legal
Researcher's Guide to the Internet_. Paul Lomio at Stanford faxed me the
table of contents to the book and an introduction. As the introduction
says, alot of what the book does is organize much of what legal
researchers already on the Internet might have discovered. For those
(like me) who may not always keep track of where they've been and what
they found, the book seems useful. Particularly for legal professionals
who want to know what Internet can really do for them, the book looks
worthwhile, covering both sources for actual text (cases, acts, treaties)
and finding/informational tools (discussion lists, gophers, newsgroups)
Additionally, the book (judging from the contents page) apparently
provides the how-to for essential accessing functions (email, telnetting,
ftp-ing, downloading, etc.) While specifics such as resource addresses
may change, and though the number/types of resources will (presumably)
grow, this book looks to be a fairly complete snapshot of the content
currently available to legal researchers on the Internet.
