Little, Brown Guide to Research and Documentation

Based on the bestselling Little, Brown Handbook , this brief, handy, spiral-bound book offers an up-to-the-minute, accessible reference for students who are conducting both print and electronic research across the disciplines. Beginning with a handy schedule to help students plan their projects, Part I lays out the essentials of research, from finding to evaluating to integrating sources. The text illustrates a search of a library subscription service while also providing a case study in evaluation of a Web site. A full chapter shows how to recognize and avoid plagiarism. Part II offers comprehensive help for researching in the disciplines, including extensive annotated lists of library and Web resources; lists of style guides; thorough coverage of documentation and format in MLA, APA, Chicago, and CSE styles; and complete student sample papers. Throughout the book, links to the companion Web site for The Little, Brown Handbook lead to video tutorials, exercises, and further Web links.Aaron, Jane E. is the author of 'Little, Brown Guide to Research and Documentation', published 2003 under ISBN 9780321198235 and ISBN 0321198239.
