Opis: Information Skills - Gerald Watkins, Jonathan Grix

Written by an academic and a librarian, this book is dedicated to helping students find and use a variety of resources, both print and online. It includes guidance on how to carry out a literature review as well as the skills needed for finding and evaluating information, with advice on referencing correctly and avoiding plagiarism. 'I think that this is a well thought out and promising proposal which has the potential to sell well. Grix has a good track record in this area and careful thought has been given to the structure of the book and how the material can be effectively communicated to the target audience.' - Wyn Grant, University of Warwick, UK The proposal is clearly organised, balanced, up-to-date and well-written. There is surely a large market for guides to information skills, especially in an electronic age, and especially if the focus is on making intelligent use of sources, not merely finding them.' - Martin Harrop, University of Newcastle, UK ' My first reaction was that it is a good idea in principle to have something like this - there are a number of things around on using the web effectively but I'm not aware of a good text which just concentrates on the whole concept of becoming an information literate student from the student's point of view.' - Peter Maggs, HASS Faculty Liaison Officer, University of Newcastle, UKAcknowledgements Introduction PART I: FOUNDATIONS Back to Basics - Understanding and Categorising Research Material The Literature Review PART II: FINDING RESOURCES: WHAT, WHERE AND HOW Online Resources Provided by Libraries and the Academic Community: Part I: Journals and Books Online Resources Provided by Libraries and the Academic Community: Part II: Other Resources Going it Alone on the Internet Referencing and Plagiarism Summary of Concluding Points PART III: GLOSSARY Glossary Bibliography Index
