A note to students ________________
You can use
this handbook in one of three ways:
- If you
want a crash course in library research, read it cover-to-cover.
Reading the whole handbook helps you understand the major research
concepts and gets you thinking about your research needs in a
comprehensive way. The workshop section of each chapter provides
suggested activities to reinforce what you have learned.
- If you
want to find out about a specific aspect of research, such
as developing a search strategy, finding articles, or evaluating
information, you can turn to that section and get your answers
quickly.
- As a
paperweight! This handbook is basic enough for a novice to
be introduced to the principle issues in library research. But
advanced researchers will be reminded about the major strategies
and identify areas for improvement. Save your Basic Library Research
Handbook for future reference.
_____
A note to instructors _____________
The handbook
is intended to be an introduction to library research, exposing
students to the concepts and skills necessary to find information
using the appropriate tools. The handbook is an alternative to library
classroom instruction. It is self-paced and intended to be a resource
to which a student can turn for library research methods.
Instructors
may want to assign or recommend this handbook to students in class.
The handbook takes about eight hours to read and do the recommended
workshop activities.
