This review is from: The Information-Literate Historian: A Guide to Research for History Students (Paperback)
Presnell's book is a must have guide for anyone undertaking historical research. The book takes the reader through the research process and how to identify useful sources. In addition, Presnell provides examples of reference sources to help get the reader going. The book is easy to read and well written.

This review is from: The Information-Literate Historian: A Guide to Research for History Students (Paperback)
The Presnell book is an excellent reference work for aspiring historians; she guides you through not only the mechanics of research but offers a wealth of notes and bibliographic data. The main drawback to The Information-Literate Historian is that the use of artifacts from the historical period as a tool to augment and verify documents is not addressed. In fact, Presnell seems to shy away from "hard" data science, such as statistics, in general. I'm thinking that the next edition of this book (and I hope there is one!)covers these missing research areas.
