520 "The information world has undergone drastic changes since
the publication of the 3rd edition of The Oxford Guide to
Library Research in 2005, and Thomas Mann, a veteran
reference librarian at the Library of Congress, has
extensively revised his text to reflect those changes.
This book will answer two basic questions: First, what is
the extent of the significant research resources you will
you miss if you confine your research entirely, or even
primarily, to sources available on the open Internet?
Second, if you are trying to get a reasonably good
overview of the literature on a particular topic, rather
than just "something quickly" on it, what are the several
alternative methods of subject searching--which are not
available on the Web--that are usually much more efficient
for that purpose than typing keywords into a blank search
box, with the results displayed by relevance-ranking
computer algorithms? This book shows researchers how to do
comprehensive research on any topic. It explains the
variety of search mechanisms available, so that the
researcher can have the reasonable confidence that s/he
has not overlooked something important. This includes not
just lists of resources, but discussions of the ways to
search within them: how to find the best search terms, how
to combine the terms, and how to make the databases (and
other sources) show relevant material even when you don't
know how to specify the best search terms in advance. The
book's overall structuring by nine methods of searching
that are applicable in any subject area, rather than by
subjects or by types of literature, is unique among guides
to research. Also unique is the range and variety of
concrete examples of what to do--and of what not to do.
The book is not "about" the Internet: it is about the best
alternatives to the Internet--the sources that are not on
the open Web to begin with, that can be found only through
research libraries and that are more than ever necessary
for any kind of substantive scholarly research. More than
any other research guide available, this book directly
addresses and provides solutions to the serious problems
outlined in recent studies documenting the profound lack
of research skills possessed by today's "digital
natives.""--|cProvided by publisher.
