From the Preface
...this text was written as a means for jump
starting students into using the Web. The text does so by providing a
large number of stable and informative sites for students to use just
by clicking on or typing in the URL. The organization of the text is
similar to that of a typical text in general psychology.
This text was written for any psychology student
at any level and in any course. To make selection of sites easier for
students, each URL listed is described by its title, type of page,
depth of coverage, length of page, whether or not it links to other
pages, whether or not it contains graphics, and whether it requires
additional software.

"This project would work very well for me and
would prove to be an invaluable tool for our students. The scope
proposed is excellent. I see this book as one that students would
probably use extensively in the course for which it is required, but
would be kept in use in several other courses. It is an invaluable
resource."
Christine Ziegler, Kennesaw State
College
"The proposed project would be a useful
resource for students. It would solve students' biggest problem in
researching relevant WWW sites--finding sites that are substantive,
meaningful, and legitimate."
David Wilson, Culver-Stockton College
"I love this project. It would be extremely
useful and there is nothing of this scope or detail available today.
I especially liked the detail with which this was handled. The
resources were highly specific."
Sherry Loch, Paradise Valley Community College
