A Research Guide for Undergraduate Students
註釋The new edition of the popular Research Guide for Undergraduate Students has been updated and significantly expanded to help beginning researchers navigate the library of the computer era. Nancy L. Baker and Nancy Huling, reference librarians for twenty-two years, bring their considerable experience to a clear and concise tour of the typical college library and of the resources available on topics in American and English literature. The Research Guide explains how to use nearly forty print and electronic reference works that are essential for students who are researching and writing term papers, including Book Review Digest, Book Review Index, Essay and General Literature Index, Expanded Academic Index, Humanities Index, The Internet Directory, Literary Criticism Index and Oxford English Dictionary. The Research Guide reprints dozens of samples from the reference materials discussed. Separate chapters discuss combing the library's electronic catalog, using the MLA International Bibliography (print, online, and CD-ROM versions), and taking advantage of interlibrary exchanges and other important services. An appendix summarizes works discussed in the book and forty additional resources.
