Sinne a u/sa/ideann uirlisi/ cumhachtacha ar no/s BITNET, JANET, ARPANET agus a leithe/id, dob e/ a/r leas seasamh siar ar uairibh agus feidhmiu/ na ngre/asa/n sin agus na mbunachar e/agsu/la sonrai/ a ghabhann leo a scru/du/. Is e/ ata/ in _Online Information Hunting_ leis an Dochtu/ir Nahum Goldman -- cur in aithne gineara/lta don cho/ras casta ar li/ne a choinni/onn ag imeacht sinn. < We who who use the powerful tools we call BITNET, JANET, ARPANET, and the like would do well to stand back now and again and take a long hard look at how these networks and their associated databases function. Dr Nahum Goldmann's book _Online Information Hunting_ offers its readers a general introduction to the complexities of the online systems which support our electronic lives.> Ta/ inne/acs maith i gcu/l an leabhair seo chun pe/ eolas a theastai/onn o/n le/itheoir a aimsiu/ ar an dtoirt. Ag to/rai/ocht eolais maidir le BITNET (no/ _Because itUs Time Network_, mar a deirtear i lch. 217), a chuaigh mise i dtosach ama, agus ba mho/r an faoiseamh dom a fha/il amach gur le/iriu/ brea/ simpli/ ar fheidhmiu/ an ghre/asa/in sin a bhi/ i leabhar Gholdmann, agus tagairti/ sa chaibidil che/anna do sheanchairde liom mar List-of-Lists agus New-List, mar aon le cur si/os deas simpli/ ar cad ata/ i gceist leo. An te/ nach bhfuil eolas ar bith aige ar chu/rsai/ teicneolai/ochta, ni/ chuirfeadh se/ stro/ ar bith air an chuid sin de leabhar Gholdmann a le/amh.
Ta/ leabhar seo Nahum Goldmann _Online Information Hunting_ (Windcrest / Magraw-Hill 1992, 19.95 dollar a luach) breac le samplai/ agus le le/ara/idi/ a mhi/ni/onn conas mar a oibri/onn gre/asa/in ri/o/mhaireachta, agus conas eolas a chuardach sna bunachair e/agsu/la sonrai/ a ghabhann leo. An chuid is mo/ den me/id a thuig me/ den leabhar seo, dUaontaigh me/ leis. An me/id na/r thuigeas, ta/im fo/s ag foghlaim uaidh. Is leor de mholadh ar leabhar tagartha ar bith an me/id sin, is do/igh liom, agus molaimse saothar Nahum Goldmann. Gabhaim pardu/n aige, chomh maith, mar is fada o/ shin a chuir se/ co/ip den leabhar seo ag triall orm le go scri/obhfainn le/irmheas ina thaobh. Is e/ an seanleisce/al baili/ ata/ agam i gco/nai/ -- bru/ oibre agus easpa ama. Is e/ seo an tri/u/ le/irmheas ata/ scri/ofa agam le linn saoire seo 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 with diagrams showing how computer networks operate, and how to handle the various databases associated with them. I approve most of the contents of those chapters of the book which I understood, and I am still learning something from those parts of Nahum Goldmann's work I did not understand on first coming across them. That is praise indeed for any book of reference! I also owe the author an apology for the length of time which has passed since his publishers sent me this book for review. I can only offer the old, still valid excuse, of pressure of work and shortage of time. This is the third book review I have written this Christmas vacation, but I have to admit 1992Us harvest of books brough with them lots of pleasure and fresh insights.> Ma/s mall fe/in an le/irmheas seo, is mithid a scri/obh. Ta/ leagan amach soile/ir sa leabhar seo, agus gach ranno/g da/ bhfuil ann di/rithe ar cheisteanna teoranta a fhreagairt. Eolas bunu/sach do dhaoine nach bhfuil mo/ra/n taithi/ acu ar oibriu/ gre/asa/n ata/ i leathanaigh 1-136 den leabhar seo. An te/ a bhfuil eolas a/irithe aige cheana fe/in ar fheidhmiu/ gre/asa/n, ba mhaith ab fhiu/ do/ tosnu/ ar leathanach 137 (_A search strategy and its objectives_) agus oibriu/ leis as sin amach tri/d na leibhe/il chuartaithe a shonrai/tear (_The name search_, _The citation search_, agus mar sin de), go dti/ caibidli/ deiridh an leabhar, a/it a bple/itear te/amai/ ni/os casta, arb iad na te/amai/ is simpli/ domsa iad, aisteach go leor(_The emergence of the
net_) a bhaineann le stair (_The emergence of the net_) no/ le la/imhsea/il na huirlise seo (_The net as a working tool_). Agus tagairti/ a/irithe faoi _The dynamics of group interaction_ a/ le/amh agam, rith smaointe liom nach ceadmhach a lua anseo. Ba cheart gur leor mar nod dUaon u/ine/ir gre/asa/in abairt seo Gholdmann: _The new electronic medium is by its nature very confilictive, as it thrives on controversy and does not easily accept the status quo._ M'anam gur fi/or an me/id sin! Go dti/ gur tha/inig GAELIC-L ar an saol La/ Bealtaine na bliana 1989, is Be/arla ar fad a bhi/ sna dteachtaireachtai/ ar line poibli/ ar fad. Go pri/obha/ideach a bhi/odh mo leithe/id agus Caoimhi/n O/ Donnai/le ag caint lena che/ile. Fe/ach anois mar ata/, o/ tharla an t-athru/ re/abhlo/ideach sin sa saol leictreonach - ta/ tri/ teangacha na nGael a/ labhairt ar an ngre/asa/n poibli/ seo, agus ta/ muintir na Breataine Bige ag labhairt amach chomh fileanta ce/anna ar WELSH-L! (Ydych chi'n siarad Cymraeg?) Bliain u/r faoi mhaise dhaoibh! Bliadhna mhath u\r dhuibh! Blien vah noo diu! Marion Gunn
