I am grateful for the enthusiastic thumbs-ups that many critics across the country have given my popular writers' reference, THE FACTS ON FILE GUIDE TO RESEARCH. Writing this book fulfilled a lifelong dream to pass on my insights, knowledge and expertise on the art, methods and techniques of research and writing that I have accumulated throughout my career. My aim was to pen an easy-to-use guide that helps people of all ages, including students, businesspeople and writers, learn the ins-and-outs of doing research and researching any subject of any kind for any written project, whether it is an article, book, essay, report or study, or purpose, and how to access thousands of resources--in print, electronic form or online--throughout the world today.
This handy guide covers everything in one place to get you started:
- Researching Your Topic: A step-by-step guide to the process of doing research, developing your subject and planning your research, gathering your information, and evaluating your sources.
- Finding Sources of Information: How to find, access, and use a number of different sources, from archival collection and biogrraphical indexes to government agencies and newspapers, from online and electronic services to radio and television.
- Finding Sources By Subject: Lists countless important sources categorized by subject matter, from A to Z.
- Using Your Sources: How to cite your sources, avoid plagiarism, and create a bibliography.
Gale Reference Reviews has dubbed this master work "a winner," while School Library Journal and Education Review have praised this meticulously detailed volume as "A no-frills, solid reference source" and "an excellent addition to any teacher's classroom, school media center, or researcher's library," respectively.
Without question, an amazing amount of research, in all forms, is readily available and within your grasp, even from the comforts of your home online--and much of it free, without charge--if you know how and where to find it.
