商品簡介
While incoming college freshmen may consider themselves information savvy because they are familiar with the hardware and software of information technologies--the Web, e-mail, and cell phones--they are often overly confident about their research skills. Gavin (instructional services, California State U. Library, Bakersfield) provides teaching librarians a concept-based approach to teaching students the information-seeking strategies and critical-thinking abilities needed to do effective research. Coverage includes preparing a research topic and thesis; constructing Boolean searches; and search strategies and content evaluation for three major research tools--online book catalogs, periodical databases, and Internet search engines.
