About the Book

What Every Student Should Know About Researching Online teaches students how to conduct research in the first place they will look: the Web. They’ll learn how to use search engines and databases and judge what they find, how to document the materials they borrow, and how to avoid online plagiarism. Annotated screen shots of Web pages show students where to locate the information they need to create a proper citation; numerous examples of properly cited online and electronic sources are also provided.
