Sinne a u/sa/ideann uirlisi/ cumhachtacha ar no/s BITNET,JANET, ARPANET agus a leithe/id, dob e/ a/r leas seasamhsiar ar uairibh agus feidhmiu/ na ngre/asa/n sin agus nambunachar e/agsu/la sonrai/ a ghabhann leo a scru/du/. Is e/ ata/ in _Online Information Hunting_ leis an Dochtu/ir NahumGoldman -- cur in aithne gineara/lta don cho/ras casta arli/ne a choinni/onn ag imeacht sinn.< We who who use the powerful tools we call BITNET, JANET, ARPANET, andthe like would do well to stand back now and again and takea long hard look at how these networks and their associateddatabases function. Dr Nahum Goldmann's book _OnlineInformation Hunting_ offers its readers a generalintroduction to the complexities of the onlinesystems which support our electronic lives.>Ta/ inne/acs maith i gcu/l an leabhair seo chun pe/ eolas a theastai/onno/n le/itheoir a aimsiu/ ar an dtoirt. Ag to/rai/ocht eolais maidir leBITNET (no/ _Because itUs Time Network_, mar a deirtear ilch. 217), a chuaigh mise i dtosach ama, agus ba mho/r anfaoiseamh dom a fha/il amach gur le/iriu/ brea/ simpli/ arfheidhmiu/ an ghre/asa/in sin a bhi/ i leabhar Gholdmann,agus tagairti/ sa chaibidil che/anna do sheanchairde liommar List-of-Lists agus New-List, mar aon le cur si/os deassimpli/ ar cad ata/ i gceist leo.

 <This book comes with a good index in the back, to help thereader locate the topics he wants without effort. I immediatelysought out BITNET, and was relieved to find Goldmann'sexposition of that mercifully simple and easy to read, withreference being made to old friends of ours, such as List-of-Lists and New-List, and an equally simple explanation tothose as well. However unaware of the workings of the netthe reader, he could not but find that part of GoldmannUs bookvery accessible.>Ta/ leabhar seo Nahum Goldmann _Online Information Hunting_ (Windcrest / Magraw-Hill 1992, 19.95 dollar a luach) breacle samplai/ agus le le/ara/idi/ a mhi/ni/onn conas mar aoibri/onn gre/asa/in ri/o/mhaireachta, agus conas eolas achuardach sna bunachair e/agsu/la sonrai/ a ghabhann leo. Anchuid is mo/ den me/id a thuig me/ den leabhar seo,dUaontaigh me/ leis. An me/id na/r thuigeas, ta/im fo/s agfoghlaim uaidh. Is leor de mholadh ar leabhar tagartha ar bithan me/id sin, is do/igh liom, agus molaimse saothar NahumGoldmann. Gabhaim pardu/n aige, chomh maith, mar is fada o/ shin a chuir se/ co/ip den leabhar seo ag triall orm le goscri/obhfainn le/irmheas ina thaobh. Is e/ an seanleisce/albaili/ ata/ agam i gco/nai/ -- bru/ oibre agus easpa ama. Ise/ seo an tri/u/ le/irmheas ata/ scri/ofa agam le linn saoireseo na Nollag, ach ni/ miste dom a admha/il gur bhain me/ idir u/sa/id agus taitneamh as fo/mhar leabhar 1992.<_Online Information Hunting (Windcrest / Magraw-Hill 1992,price 19.95 dollars) is packed with examples and withdiagrams showing how computer networks operate, and howto handle the various databases associated with them. Iapprove most of the contents of those chapters of the bookwhich I understood, and I am still learning something fromthose parts of Nahum Goldmann's work I did not understandon first coming across them. That is praise indeed for anybook of reference! I also owe the author an apology for thelength of time which has passed since his publishers sent methis book for review. I can only offer the old, still validexcuse, of pressure of work and shortage of time. This is thethird book review I have written this Christmas vacation, butI have to admit 1992Us harvest of books brough with themlots of pleasure and fresh insights.>Ma/s mall fe/in an le/irmheas seo, is mithid a scri/obh.
