Reviews

Gr 8 Up-The how-to-research advice in this series is thoughtful and well-articulated. The titles explain information such as the difference between qualitative and quantitative data, how to evaluate sources (both in print and online), and the importance of reference librarians. However, the design (which is made of blocks of text against white backgrounds) might make sustained reading difficult, especially for struggling readers. Entertaining cartoon illustrations provide some visual relief. Quality selected bibliographies and online resources are listed at the back of each volume. Recommended for writers who have had some experience with the research process.α(c) Copyright 2011. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
