 About this site:

Welcome to Research Strategies, a textbook in informational research for students in higher education. 

  •  As of February 2008, the print version of the textbook went into third edition.
     

  •  The online abridged version (see menu left) has been updated, but is much briefer than the print edition.
     

  •  Use of the online abridged version is free as always.  If you are using Research Strategies as a textbook, however, you are advised to get the paper edition, which includes a study guide, practice exercises with keys, assignments, updated screen shots, and a guide to writing terrific research papers.
     
    How to Get the Paper Edition
     
    Special features of the third paper edition:

  •  Expanded explanations of research question development, online searching, search engines, the hidden Internet, etc.
     

  •  Extensive study guide, practice exercises with keys, and assignments for each chapter.
     

  •  New screen shots.
     

  •  Appendix on writing research papers.
     

  •  A special "updates" website.

The 2008 third paper edition is 32% larger than the second edition.  While the online abridged version has been updated, most of the additional features of the paper edition will not appear in the online edition.

  How to Get the Paper Edition

 What does this mean for you?

  •  If you have been using the online abridged version, you may continue to do so.  I will try to keep it updated as much as possible.
     

  •  If you are using this book as a textbook, get the paper version.  It's inexpensive and more comprehensive.  You will especially benefit from the practice exercises (with keys) along with assignments that can be used in classroom teaching. 

 How can I get the print edition?
