Book Description:

Surfing the Internet: An Introduction, published in 1992 by Jean Armour Polly, was a pioneering guide that helped introduce the general public to the world of online information. Polly, a librarian, is often credited with popularizing the term 'surfing' to describe the act of navigating the Internet’s vast network of resources. Her guide was specifically designed for non-technical users and library professionals, providing a friendly and accessible entry point to tools like Gopher, Archie, and early email. At a time when the Internet was still intimidating to many, Polly’s work emphasized the excitement of discovery and the importance of public access to information. Her guide played a significant role in demystifying the digital world and encouraging people to explore the new horizons of the emerging information age.
