"The website is refreshingly straightforward and functional. The simple design allows users to find articles quickly and effectively, without being distracted by extraneous material or hindered by a poor search function. Sample searches returned relevant results quickly. An advanced search option is available, as are practical search tips. Authors' biographies and websites frequently are featured alongside the articles, so registered users can send an e-mail directly to the lead author of an article. First Monday is a reliable source of high-quality content. Graduate students, researchers, and scholars in information studies and communications will use this site to stay current with the literature and to publish their own work. Undergraduates will favor the site for its ease of navigation and interesting, unique articles. Summing Up: Recommended. Lower-level undergraduates and above".
