Refreshing Approach to Teaching Research

I began using this text in a senior capstone course in order to position students as future researchers. The text is filled with a multitude of helpful information and easy to follow applications. Of note are the historical information concerning various subjects like the birth of the Internet. Additionally, the exercises aid students in improving their skills as researchers. My students have raved about the text and have spread to word to other students that they must take the capstone course, partially because of the way the text allows for students to rethink what research is all about. I even have graduates who refer to chapters in the book when they call to talk to me about research opportunities. Moreover, the teacher's manual allows me to be creative and gauge how well students are progressing. I would find it hard to locate another textbook like this one. Thank you, editors for your vision.

Great textbook for introductory research class

I really liked the workbook layout of this publication. The chapters on each topic are short and concise, and each has rip-out review questions and exercises. I surveyed quite a few books for my course syllabus, and found this one to be an absolute dream for instructors teaching information literacy or research skills. Thank you, thank you for publishing this book!
