Reviews:

Bazler's ambitious work creates order out of chaos by organizing and analyzing some of the best Internet chemistry resources....Recommended. Undergraduates, graduate students, faculty, and professionals in chemistry.
—Choice April 2004
Excellent reference tool for high school and college science collections, loaded with sites sure to be lasting.
—MBR Internet Bookwatch/Library Bookwatch December 2004
Both of the books (Chemistry and Biology) reviewed in this series are tremendous resources becuase of the amount of information that they have in one place for lessons or projects on the Internet....For a classroom or library media center with limited computer access, these print resources will help teachers and students to find electronic resources.
—Library Media Connection August/September 2004
This book is an excellent resource for science middle and high school teachers.
—E-STREAMS 2004
[A] very useful reference for building discipline-, course-, or assignment-specific Web pages....will be useful for the public, but librarians can also use to build excellent reference Web pages. Should be especially helpful in libraries serving students from the junior high-school through lower-division undergraduate levels.
—Booklist/RBB February 15, 2003

Description: The Web is the first place many students look for information. Yet the Web is notoriously unreliable. How can students, teachers, parents, and librarians be certain that the information a Web site provides is accurate and age appropriate? In this unique book, experienced science educator Judith A. Bazler reviews hundreds of the most reliable chemistry-related Web sites. Each review discusses the most appropriate grade level of the site, analyzes its accuracy and usefulness, and provides helpful hints for getting the most out of the resource. Sites are organized by topic, from "Acids" to "Thermodynamics," making it easy to locate the most useful sites. A handy summary presents the best places on the Web to find information on science museums, science centers, careers in chemistry, and chemistry supplies.
