4.0 out of 5 stars
content good but controversial subjects should be avoided,
By A Customer
This review is from: Research Paper and the World Wide Web, The: A Writer's Guide (Paperback)
This book contains valuable information about the research process. Particularly helpful are the sections on citing electronic documents and organizing research information. However, this information was marred somewhat by the controversial subject matter chosen for the example research paper. Whatever the author's stance on affirmative action, this book should not be used as a platform for it. A more neutral subject would not detract from the information covered in the text.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great book, especially for documenting sources.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Research Paper and the World Wide Web, The: A Writer's Guide (Paperback)
This is an excellent book for doing research using the world wide web! While many of its tips are documented elsewhere, the dicussion on how to document sources in a bibliography when the source is a web page is great! This is uncharted territory and few other books, if any, cover this subject. Many universities are sticklers about what style to use in bibliographies and this documents both MLA and APA styles. It also notes that the way the book shows how to do it is not yet an "official" standard from MLA or APA. However, the recommended style is close enough to both to be usable.
