About this title

Review:

"Excellent presentation of a hard to encompass subject and good ways to approach it. Highly recommended." - Teacher Librarian "There are teaching tips that will help both the new teacher/librarian and the veteran. This is one of those books that will soon spout all sorts of little sticky notes and highlighted lines. It is possible that the book may need to be replaced before the fourth edition comes out because the librarian has worn out the first copy!" - Library Media Connection "[S]hould be near every library reference desk as it is a quick and thorough resource for any desk worker. The information on Google Scholar and other free websites alone make the book well worth the purchase price, but the addition of the companion website should allow the material to remain current longer than a print book." - Endnotes: The Journal of the New Members Round Table "The book is well-organized. The 'quick recap' of key subjects is a helpful feature for readers who need to become knowledgeable as quickly as possible. . . . All in all, this book is a solid introduction to traditional reference librarianship but needs updating for the social media age." - Journal of Electronic Resources in Medical Libraries
