• Designed specifically for information professionals in library, education, and business settings, this guide serves as an intelligent, highly accessible introduction to networking and its related technical applications and concepts....a commendable tool that should prove highly informative and useful to all information professionals.

• Molyneux provides a readable and often engaging primer for setting up your library, organization, or home office network....a valuable guide for the information professional who either is new to networking or who seeks greater understanding of these technologies and their applications.
  —Public Libraries November/December 2004
• Molyneux certainly met this reader's expectations of what an excellent volume on networking should be. ...This is a volume that can be read with profit by anyone in the information professions and is especially useful for librarians who currently have only a nodding acquaintance with this "second language" that is necessary for success in today's information environment.
