Volkman offers 12 "excursions," or lesson plans, designed to help secondary librarians steer their students through the research process. The first two lessons present basic reference books and include 70 sets of practice questions with answer keys. Excursion 3 introduces the term-paper process, with detailed instructions for a start-to-finish research project as well as sample research notes and finished papers. The remaining assignments build on this knowledge. Each lesson includes instructions, reproducibles, and a bibliography. These practical ideas will adapt easily to a specific grade, curriculum, or reference collection. The sailing metaphor wears a little thin (materials are "cargo," objectives are "destinations"), but this navigational aid will benefit any librarian struggling to stay afloat in a sea of research.-Debbie Johnson, Richardson West Junior High School, TX
