Get Great Information Fast

John Germov Lauren Williams

A user-friendly guide to doing research for students and others, both online and offline.

Description

Do you run out of time when you're researching a topic? Do you know where to start? Is it difficult to get the right information? Whether you are doing research for an essay or report, or gathering data for a project or presentation, you need to be able to put your hands on good information quickly.
In a practical, user-friendly manner Get Great Information Fast explains how to:
* decide what information you really need
* find a path through the information maze of the Internet, libraries and journals
* make the most of your research time
* organise, evaluate and present the information you find
The authors show you how to get reliable information from the Internet without wasting time, and how to use libraries, government and other sources. They answer common questions and provide time-saving hints. An appendix lists key web sites which can also be accessed from the book's own web page.
