"There are multiple online and paper publications containing information on new or specialty Web sites. One I recommend is The Lawyer's Guide to Fact Finding on the Internet, by Carole A. Levitt and Mark E. Rosch, which has many chapters of value to a new lawyer. Carole Levitt is a dynamic and interesting speaker who knows more about the practical and real world of using the Internet, especially for free, than any other person I know.
