Essential Guide To Using The Web For Research
Paperback Edition: 1/2012
In recent years, the internet has provided students and researchers with fantastic opportunities to conduct research using little more than their own computer. All too often, however, internet research also poses a distinct set of challenges and can give rise to sloppy research when conducted without care.
The Essential Guide to Using the Web for Research explains the skills needed to navigate the web and use it effectively, emphasizing independent learning and the ability to critically assess information and transform it into effective evidence. In connecting these online skills to the research process, Ford helps students to understand and answer research questions, construct an argument and present their evidence. The book includes sections on: beginner and advanced search techniques; assessing online information; organising and storing information; social networking sites and other online tools; and, referencing, copyright and plagiarism.
