We live in the "information age". Communication on the information highway is fast pace. However, the problem is most of us don't have the map needed to travel that highway and so we have great challenges finding the destination. The material in Dr. Badke's book is the road map to the information highway. This book is the "GPS" to the information highway.If readers follow this guide, they should be able to access the information needed much quicker and easier. It will save students valuable time as they learn research skills and strategies needed (needed for college and universities assignments). It will also make the research more accurate, as the student learns how to access information written by the best scholars in the field. A small price to pay for a resource is worth so much.The author writes in an easy to read style. Hint: to get the most benefit out of this resource, take the time to do the practice exercises before getting involved in your actual research. If you do this, it should take you less time to do the actual research for your assignments. Try it. It works.

4.0 out of 5 stars very helpful tool for the serious student.

While it was technical, as we would expect from the title, it was easily understood and the author made learning the subject entertaining. It was a required textbook for a masters class but I would recommend to any student faced with writing a research paper. The book provides guidelines to effective research along with many helpful tools available to all on the www. Enjoy the read.

William Badke has written an excellent and extremely useful reference book on how to start research projects. As he aptly describes, getting started is probably the most difficult part of a research project; especially for those of us who are new to the art of researching.The book is well written and referenced, with the author writing with a sense of humour and this also makes the book appealing since it could otherwise be a dry, boring book without the author's humour creeping into the pages.While the new-to-the-art-of-researching student will find this book very interesting and helpful; many experienced researchers will find the book helpful also. The author describes how to use various resources, such as internet, periodicals and catalogues to assist the researcher realise his/her project goals.In summary, a very well written and laid out book by a person very experienced in the the field of research. Definitely recommended for the novice researcher, however would also be useful for the advanced researcher. Well done, William Badke!

5.0 out of 5 stars Helpful introduction to research

D.C.L. · August 1, 2006

This book serves as a useful introduction to research techniques and options for the late high school or early-to-mid-level college student beginning research. Badke's writing focuses on finding sources and writing research papers. The writing assumes no current knowledge of conducting research of any kind, so parts may be simplistic for many, but there is a wealth of great research strategies within.He begins with a look at paper design, and the place from which to begin your research. He then moves to database, periodical and internet searches. He then discusses how to formulate your research into a working topic, and organizing your data.He writes for people who have never really used a library effectively or used a computer for research. Overall, this is a superb introduction to research that should be read by anyone attempting research.

This book introduced readers into the world of research. Beginning with and overview of the history of communication and how does communication moved from oral tradition to writing and lately to the internet the author began this book. Following by a general and simple explanation of what research is.The rest of the book is the explanation of methods of what the author called good research. I recommend this book as a good introduction on the topic of research.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Necessary Read

J.A.J. · August 20, 2018

I gave this edition a full five stars for reasons too innumerable. However, the major reasons focus on backsliding or becoming too comfortable with one's procedures and knowledge. In the present age of false news and sleazy politicians, we need reminders of good form and proper research techniques.

Author has a great sense of humor. Making an otherwise dry subject a fun reading

My thoughts as a mature student but novice writer

L. · March 18, 2014

This an excellent book to learn how to write a paper properly. It is well organized and broken down into categories which make sense. Favorite chapter is 10, where I've realized some errors of my ways. It's unfortunate that I didn't finish reading the whole book before submitting my last work, better luck with my next though.The jokes are corny but it endeared the author to me; he is a librarian ;) My respect for the profession has changed with greater appreciation.The book is a keeper.
