Bookmarks: A Guide to Research and Writing establishes a new benchmark for college research guides. Written in a lively, conversational tone and amply illustrated, this groundbreaking text demystifies the writing process by engaging and guiding students through the entire research and writing process. Bookmarks serves as a bridge between old and new traditions - a guide for researchers who expect to work regularly in both print and electronic environments. Renowned authors John Ruszkiewicz and Janice Walker prepare students for the ever-changing demands of doing research in today's technology driven society.

About this title

From the Back Cover

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.
