Description
“After reading the first section, I felt I had gained the foundation for understanding the limitations of both the searcher and the Internet. … Explanations of the various types of personal records are presented in a clear format with a description followed by one or more specific Websites and, in some cases, examples of searches that might result from searching the sites. … Lane provides ‘a reference guide to several thousand databases that can sometimes offer up exactly the information you need.’ Naked in Cyberspace is a valuable guide that should be in public libraries; it also will be useful in academic libraries, particularly ones with criminal justice programs.”
–Serials Review 28/3(2003)
