For courses in Freshman Composition, Research Writing, or any course where students are researching and writing.

Full of practical writing assignments and supplemented with its own Companion Website, Evaluation Online Sources and a twelve month ContentSelect™ subscription, this adaptable, state-of-the-art text teaches students to write research papers and to search libraries and Websites in preparation for drafting and documenting research papers. Technically two books in one (a guide to writing research papers and an introduction to traditional library and online searching), it demonstrates how to find sources in libraries and on the Internet (including e-mail, listservs, and online forums); illustrates how to find, evaluate, save, and organize the resources located; and shows how to integrate and cite sources within the research paper.
