Research and Documentation in the Digital Age

by Diana Hacker, Barbara Fister

With advice for finding, evaluating, and documenting sources, this handy spiral-bound pocket guide covers the essential information college students need for research assignments in more than 30 disciplines. New, up-to-date documentation models guide students as they cite common sources and newer sources in the current editions of one of four documentation styles (MLA, APA, Chicago, and CSE). Advice, examples, and activities help students engage in the research process, find entry points in debates, and develop their authority as researchers. The many examples, according to one college librarian, “are realistic and relevant.” Research and Documentation in the Digital Age is the perfect companion to any college textbook. With the new edition, Ben Pierce again focuses on the most pervasive problems for students taking genetics—understanding how genetics concepts connect to each other and developing solid problem solving skills. There is updated coverage of important research developments in genetics (CRISPR) and a new Active Learning feature, Think, Pair, Share. And with this edition, Genetics Essentials is available as a fully integrated text/media resource with SaplingPlus, an online solution that combines an e-book of the text, Pierce’s powerful multimedia resources, and Sapling’s robust genetics problem library.Author Miriam Moore believes in helping students learn to trust themselves as readers, writers, and thinkers. Writing Essentials A Macmillan Launchpad provides a space where students can build both confidence and strong academic writing skills that will carry them forward in college and career.A portable print text, Real Skills Essentials works together with Writing Essentials Online to deliver just the support necessary in order to develop sentences and paragraphs. It can be packaged with Writing Essentials Online at a significant discount.
