Review
The world of information is an intriguing and beautifully complex web of relationships open to anyone who wishes to become familiar with its transportation system. This is one of the best basic guides I've seen for navigating the information channels. Thomas Mann, a Library of Congress reference librarian and former private detective, presents an intuitive approach to thinking about information. Explained is a seven-step method that can be applied to any information search: subject heading searches, browsing the shelves, key word searches, citation searches, bibliography searches, computer searches and talking to knowledgeable people. These footholds are further illuminated by search examples. With this book as a map, and your reference librarian as a tour guide, you should have a smooth and fascinating journey. -- From The WomanSource Catalog & Review: Tools for Connecting the Community for Women; review by Ilene Rosoff
Review
"The savviest such guide I have ever seen--bracingly irreverent and brimming with wisdom. For any researcher who values resourcefulness, precision, comprehensiveness and his own time, this book is a godsend. Mann's explanations of why systematic browsing is an essential part of a scholarly search, and how using the telephone to reach experts is a valid complement to print sources, are liberating."--Ronald Gross, author of The Independent Scholar's Handbook.
"Readable and thorough."--A. Kritzer, West Virginia University
"An excellent and thorough guide, especially useful in emphasizing the virtues of traditional (non-electronic) sources and shelf browsing."--Steve Kuehler, EDS Weston Jesuit Library
