-
- The Library is perhaps the most useful of all the areas for help
and ideas for writing research papers. It contains the entire text from
The McGraw-Hill Guide to Electronic Research and Documentation by Diana
Roberts Wienbroer, which gives you easy-to-read, step-by-step guidance
for researching on-line, along with many helpful links tied
directly to the text.
-
- Among the many helpful features, it includes
a connection to popular search engines, with guidance on how to use them
most effectively, particularly for narrowing down your research topic
and conducting preliminary on-line research.
-
- It also links you to specialty search engines, and contains a
handy, brief guide to evaluating and documenting on-line sources,
which is essential knowledge for every student who is planning
to conduct research through the world-wide web.
-
- Most important, perhaps, are the many links to important sites that
are essential for research across the curriculum, including to Every
Student's Internet Research Guide by Sara Amato, another McGraw-Hill
site.
-
- For more detailed help on the entire research process, specifically
electronic research and documentation, please request a copy of Rules
of Thumb for Research by Jay Silverman, Elaine Hughes, and Diana
Roberts Wienbroer, due out in fall, 1998.
