Student Guide to Research in the Digital Age: How to Locate and Evaluate Information Sources
Libraries Unlimited | Leslie F. Stebbins | Research Process | December 2005 ISBN 10: 1591580994 ISBN 13: 9781591580997 One of the most perplexing aspects of research today is what to do when there’s too much information on a topic. The key, says Leslie Stebbins, is to know how to find the most promising information, evaluate it, and use it effectively. Individual chapters provide a step-by-step introduction to research and critical evaluation and specific types of information resources, as well as guidance on such skills as note-taking and referencing. Students and librarians alike will benefit from these suggestions, strategies and straightforward examples for developing good filtering instincts and management of search results.

Consideration should also be given to purchasing several copies if the teacher-librarian believes that students will profit from having a full guide…. This book is worth serious consideration for those teaching advanced searching and evaluation skills at the secondary level.”—Teacher Librarian, June 2006 “A highly functional, comprehensive, and straightforward research guide for today’s students. Recommended. Lower-level undergraduates through graduate students; professionals/practitioners.”—Choice, September 2006 |
