A Writer's Resource: A Handbook for Writers and Researchers

Rating:
Summary: Essential reference for college freshmen and other writers
Review: I read part of this book for Recordings for the Blind and Dyslexic. What impressed me was the clear, concise instructions for using a university library and how to maintain good interview and lab notes. Reference sources are listed along with URLs. The best advice I uncovered in my first experience was to verify information found on the Web with suggestions for locating and evaluating reliable sites. I skimmed the rest of the book and found that it also has lots of information I should, but don't always, remember from my college years, so am buying one for me and one for a high school graduation present.
