Publisher's Note

Industry Reviews
The contributors professors, librarians, and freelance writers attempt to update the traditional "how to write a term paper" and "how to use a library" guides for the electronic age. Aimed at high school and undergraduate students, the book features chapters on "traditional" aspects of writing a paper (selecting a topic, using print sources and library catalogs, citing sources, etc.), plus a chapter each on CD-ROMs, online services, and the Internet. Of these, the "low-tech" parts are excellent, the others less so. The chapters on electronic sources too often include specific commands, lists of available resources, or a rehash of Internet basics, while effective use of electronic resources for research (e.g., search strategies) is virtually ignored. Nevertheless, this book provides lots of information in one concise, readable package. Students especially those new to research papers and/or electronic sources should find it helpful.
