Synopsis

Bookmarks: A Guide to Research and Writing establishes a new benchmark for college research guides. Written in a lively, conversational tone and amply illustrated, this groundbreaking text demystifies the writing process by engaging and guiding students through the entire research and writing process. Bookmarks serves as a bridge between old and new traditions - a guide for researchers who expect to work regularly in both print and electronic environments. Renowned authors John Ruszkiewicz and Janice Walker prepare students for the ever-changing demands of doing research in today's technology driven society.

A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

A decade ago a bookmark was defined exclusively as a strip of metal, fabric, or paper inserted between the pages of a book to hold a reader's place. But, today, a bookmark is also a much-used feature of Web browsers, a way to store frequently consulted Web addresses.

What has happened to this simple work provides a rationale for Bookmarks: A Guide to Research and Writing. Just as electronic technology has complicated the meaning of bookmark, it has similarly transformed every aspect of research. So we offer Bookmarks as a new-generation research guide built on the assumption that students need to appreciate both conventional methods of research and techniques associated with rapidly developing electronic technologies.

Bookmarks is designed as a bridge between old and new traditions-a guide for the college writers working in both print and electronic environments. It invites them to think of themselves, perhaps for the first time, as serious researchers.

Revue de presse

"Bookmarks seems to be an intelligent and innovative research guide that fully incorporates state-of-the art strategies for research writing in the Information Age, without sacrificing the basics of the more traditional library-based research project. "― Cheryl M. Clark, Miami-Dade Community College

"The documentation sections of this text are one of its major strengths. I don't think I have seen a better text in this category, either for accessibility for readers or for completeness." ― Craig Branham, Saint Louis University

"The Internet coverage in Bookmarks is excellent, as is the information on making Web pages. Wow - this book is ready for the year 2000 and beyond! ... I rate this book as the best guide to undergraduate research that I've seen." ― Ted E. Johnston, El Paso Community College
