The Facts On File Guide to Research is a comprehensive guide to doing thorough and accurate research. It includes detailed lists of available resources and explains general research methods and proper citation of sources. An invaluable reference, this book helps researchers make use of the many new resources available today. It is divided into four easy-to-use sections: Researching Your Topic contains a step-by-step guide to the process of doing research, with information on developing a subject and planning research, gathering information, and evaluating sources; Finding Sources of Information explains how to find, access, and use a number of different sources, from archival collections and biographical indexes to government agencies and newspapers, from online and electronic services to radio and television; Finding Sources by Subject contains lists of important research sources categorized by subject matter; Using your Sources explains how to cite sources, avoid plagiarism, and create a bibliography. The Facts On File Guide to Research helps students and general readers prepare for research papers and class studies. Valuable appendixes cover style guides, including APA, MLA, and The Chicago Manual of Style.
