Description: From School Library Journal
An accessible approach to the "how-to" of doing research, which is broken down into steps that include developing a topic and subtopics, note taking, and sorting notes. Stanley successfully melds theory with practice and addresses real problems faced by library media specialists. She also illustrates how, despite programming constraints, it is possible to get results that will ultimately benefit students in their research. The author correctly asserts that a necessary part of the process is letting teaching staff know what the library media specialist can do for them, thus encouraging more successful student writing and, ultimately, making the teaching process easier. She also notes some effective public-relations techniques to use to this end. The book includes templates and sample lesson plans for three days of instruction leading up to individual hands-on research, rough drafts, and finished creative projects.-Karen Patricia Smith, Queens College Graduate School of Library and Information Studies, Flushing, NY
