The days when college students researched term papers by means of the card catalogue are long gone. Now, with electronic research methods such as WorldCat, the Library of Congress' SCORPIO and MUMS systems, and the World Wide Web, research can be done more quickly and efficiently. This volume takes students step-by-step through sample searches in those databases and others, and also provides assistance in winnowing data and writing well and concisely. An extremely detailed and useful volume. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
