As I'm working on a research project, I wanted a basic book on research to start with to let me know where to, well, start. And this is, I'm sure, as good a one as any. It's also rather useful if you're planning on using any research that's over a decade old, as it gives you a nice idea of the framework in which that was written - before, indeed, Google was quite as omnipresent and decisive as it is now. It's a nice reminder that search engines have become increasingly prescriptive, whereas once the algorithm was much more basic.
It's got some useful basics on what to expect from a library, and how to set about recording the research in it (a nice reminder on the existence of library cards, which I will, indeed, put into practice) but by and large, it is a starting point of a book from a different time, and no more - but also no less - than that. If you need a gentle nudge into academic study, you could do a great deal worse than this, and if you've never undertaken such a thing before, again, this is as handy as, I think, anything else.
