520    Most students faced with writing a research paper probably
       start at the same place, Google. Here is a guide that will
       save students from fruitless, random web searching. The 
       authors, one formerly an academic librarian who now 
       teaches college English, and the other coauthor of Going 
       Beyond Google, provide up to date guidance for using 
       traditional and online sources. Students will learn to 
       select a topic, effectively find and evaluate the best 
       information in both print and electronic formats, and 
       produce accurate and complete citations based on current 
       versions of important styles guides and web resources. 
       Each chapter includes exercises that reinforce the 
       instruction and guidance. A companion website accompanies 
       this new edition to give readers hot links for all of the 
       book's URLs, and supplementary materials including 
       additional exercises and examples that help clarify how to
       apply the techniques. This book is filled with real world 
       examples, illustrative diagrams, and screen shots, and is 
       a guide for anyone aspiring to write an excellent research
       paper on their own, or following this text in a research 
       skills or information literacy course.
