Library research has changed dramatically since Marilyn Lutzker and
Eleanor Ferrall's Criminal Justice Research in Libraries was
published in 1986. In addition to covering the enduring elements of
traditional research, this new edition provides full coverage of
research using the World Wide Web, hypertext documents, computer
indexes, and other online resources. It gives an in-depth
explanation of such concepts as databases, networks, and full text,
and the Internet gets a full chapter. The chapters on bibliographic
searching, the library catalog, and comparative research are almost
totally new, and chapters on indexes and abstracts, newsletters,
newspapers and news broadcasts, documents, reports and conference
proceedings, and statistics reflect the shift to computerized
sources. The chapter on legal resources discusses the wealth of
legal information available on the Internet. A new chapter on
library research in forensic science corrects an omission from the
first book. With the growth of computerized indexes and the
Internet, more and more researchers are admitting that they feel
inadequate to the new tools. Librarians themselves are struggling
to keep abreast of the new technology. This book will help
students, practitioners, scholars, and librarians develop a sense
of competency in doing criminal justice research.
