Review
'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, UK
