Hand them this easy-to-use, comprehensive guide to researching 100
popular research papers, and high school students will get off on
the right track on their research papers. Designed by a reference
and young adult librarian for use in her library, this guide saves
both student and librarian time and is a shortcut to effective
research. Each photocopyable guide will help the student to locate
print and nonprint information about the topic, narrow the scope of
the paper, and find related topics. This will reduce student
frustration in the research process and introduce the student to
the full scope of materials the library has to offer on the topic.
Each guide serves not only as a map to library resources but as an
outline of library research procedures. From "abortion" to "youth
gangs," the 100 topic guides are organized into sections on science
and technology, social issues, social studies, and biography. Each
guide contains a capsule description of the topic, call numbers for
shelf browsing, subject headings, pamphlet file sources, reference
materials, book and CD-ROM periodical indexes, online databases,
key words and descriptors to use in searching indexes and
databases, a list of videotapes on the topic, fiction relating to
the topic, organizations to contact for further information,
suggestions for narrowing the topic, and suggestions for related
topics. In addition to the guides, an appendix of aids to research
will help students with note-taking, bibliographic citations, and
electronic database searching. The book is thoroughly indexed for
easy access of topic information by students and librarians. Once
you use these topic guides you'll wonder how you and your students
ever gotalong without them.
