This short, practical book introduces students to the important components of the information-seeking process. <i>The Elements of Library Research</i> provides a foundation for success in any research assignment, from a freshman paper to a senior thesis.</p><p> Unlike guides that describe the research process but do not explain its logic, this book focuses entirely on basic concepts, strategies, tools, and tactics for research--in both electronic and print formats.
