Recensione:

"Bookmarks seems to be an intelligent and innovative research guide that fully incorporates state-of-the art strategies for research writing in the Information Age, without sacrificing the basics of the more traditional library-based research project. "― Cheryl M. Clark, Miami-Dade Community College

"The documentation sections of this text are one of its major strengths. I don't think I have seen a better text in this category, either for accessibility for readers or for completeness." ― Craig Branham, Saint Louis University

"The Internet coverage in Bookmarks is excellent, as is the information on making Web pages. Wow - this book is ready for the year 2000 and beyond! ... I rate this book as the best guide to undergraduate research that I've seen." ― Ted E. Johnston, El Paso Community College

Dalla quarta di copertina:

A decade ago a bookmark was defined exclusively as a strip of metal, fabric, or paper inserted between the pages of a book to hold a reader's place. But, today, a bookmark is also a much-used feature of Web browsers, a way to store frequently consulted Web addresses.

What has happened to this simple work provides a rationale for Bookmarks: A Guide to Research and Writing. Just as electronic technology has complicated the meaning of bookmark, it has similarly transformed every aspect of research. So we offer Bookmarks as a new-generation research guide built on the assumption that students need to appreciate both conventional methods of research and techniques associated with rapidly developing electronic technologies.

Bookmarks is designed as a bridge between old and new traditions-a guide for the college writers working in both print and electronic environments. It invites them to think of themselves, perhaps for the first time, as serious researchers.
