We were required to read this for a Legal Research course and were provided access through an online database - html webpage format rather than a regular book or e-book format. Maybe that was part of the problem. Mostly I found it weird that there was a book on conducting research. Kind of which there was something like this for anthropology/archaeology - maybe I’d be more engaged... overall found the information hard to retain and incredibly dull.

Had to read this for class. Very comprehensive and detailed information for anyone doing legal research and archiving. However, it works best if the organization or library has Westlaw or LexisNexus databases to help navigate your search.
