Synopsis

With this one-of-a-kind reference, information expert Ellen Metter takes the frustration out of research projects with her own mix of humor, data and savvy research techniques. From libraries, newspapers and the Internet to scholars, experts and directories, Metter shows readers how to access hundreds of viable resources for virtually every subject.

Each easy chapter focuses on a different area, including government, current events, culture, law, business, history, and more, and outlines a variety of methods for obtaining a hard copy or microform of the research. And as an added value, Metter includes the "instant information" that other research guides lack such as addresses, phone numbers and e-mail discussion groups.
