There has never been a better guide to library resources for middle school students than this new handbook! Through the context of research assignment, students learn how to organize their library research, and then are introduced to a variety of current general and biographical library reference tools in print and electronic formats. The author covers encyclopedias, dictionaries, almanacs, directories, indexes, and other resources likely to be available in the school or public library. Computerized indexes and databases, reference use of the Internet, and audio-visual sources are also included. How to make effective use of the school library media center, public library, and other accessible library collections is clearly explained. This is the first in a new series designed to better prepare children for using today's new information resources. |
