Diese Einfuhrung unterscheidet sich von anderen, indem sie breit in die wissenschaftliche Internetrecherche einfuhrt, das methodische Vorgehen und die Analyse der Ergebnisse eingehend behandelt und vor allem die Recherche in und mit Hilfe von Web 2.0-Diensten systematisch berucksichtigt. Dabei wird die Recherche als Teil des umfassenderen Ablaufs "Finden - Bewerten - Festhalten - Auf dem Laufenden bleiben" begriffen. Es werden also uber die Recherche hinaus Werkzeuge vorgestellt, mit denen man die Ergebnisse festhalten kann (Notizbucher, soziale Bookmarkdienste und Literaturverwaltung) und es wird behandelt, wie man bezogen auf seine Themen und auf das Recherchieren selbst up to date bleibt. Ein Buch aus der Praxis fur die Praxis: fur Wissenschaftler, fur Studierende und fur jene, die bereits im Beruf sind und methodisch umfassend und effektiv das wissenschaftliche Recherchieren lernen wollen.
