Library Journal Review

Skype, a free peer-to-peer VoIP (voice over IP) application that allows users to make voice calls over the Internet, is gaining popularity among both individuals and business owners who appreciate its cost effectiveness over traditional telephone service. For beginners to advanced users, Skype Me! contains something for everyone, from installing Skype on a home system to setting up firewalls and networks--plus a look at future devices that may become Skype-enabled. Plentiful screen shots and clear directions help users get up and running quickly, while nicely organized chapters build on previous knowledge and let readers skip directly to the topics they need. This straightforward and thorough guide is appropriate for all medium and larger libraries. (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
