<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"First ed. published under title The research virtuoso: brilliant methods for normal brains"--T.p. verso.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Armed with this lively guidebook, students will be ready to face the often daunting prospect of conducting serious research in the information age. Fully revised, The Research Virtuoso covers all aspects of research: how to decide on a topic, take notes, skim material, evaluate which sources (especially those on the Internet) are most reliable, organize information, and create a bibliography. Readers will also learn how to access a treasure trove of sources they may never have known existed, such as special collections and private libraries. The Research Virtuoso goes on to show how effective research skills will help students succeed not only at school, but also in life: when considering a company to work for or purchasing anything from electronics to a house. Charts, lists, diagrams, and Grab & Go templates clarify and expand the text. An essential tool for every student!<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>This handy guide, written by two experienced professional librarians, is divided into four major sections: research preparations, information location, information evaluation, and research presentation. At the end of each section are highly useful Grab and Go templates that allow users to organize their findings. These templates include checklists, diagrams, charts, and other similar tools that will prove helpful to researchers. Suggestions are provided for the most efficient ways to approach a variety of sources including libraries, archives, the Internet, people, etc. The guide also suggests possible ways to present findings. This guide would be useful to individual researchers and to instructors who provide guidance. RECOMMENDED--Annette B.
