Research can be taught, and this book offers beginning-to-end instructions. McAdoo's (Fundamentals of Library Instruction) intention is to provide "a working knowledge of the language" used in research. A librarian with more than 20 years of experience, McAdoo understands the need to provide students with a simple step-by-step survival guide to writing a research paper. Numerous steps in the research process are presented including understanding libraries and librarians, comprehending the assignment, selecting a topic, locating information resources, constructing effective search strategies, organizing search results, reading and evaluating information, conducting ethically and legally responsible research such as how to cite sources as well as both how and why to avoid plagiarism, and guidance for shaping research results into quality writing. The diagrams, charts, glossary, and examples make this book a great resource for novice researchers. VERDICT Highly recommended for high school and undergraduate students.-Karen -Venturella, Union Cty. Coll. Libs, Cranford, NJ © Copyright 2015.
