- Strategies for Successful Library Research: A Step-by-Step Guide. Wesley, Threasa L. Werrell, Emily Academic Libraries Autoinstructional Aids Books Government Publications Higher Education Information Seeking Library Instruction Library Skills Periodicals Research Skills Search Strategies Workbooks Worksheets Developed by the Instructional Services Department of Northern Kentucky University's W. Frank Steely Library, this self-paced workbook is designed for students who are undertaking library research projects. Based on a five-step search strategy and designed to provide individualized guidance through the fundamental steps in the library research process, the guide can be adapted to any student's research topic, and its worksheets can be used as the basis for a working bibliography. Emphasis is placed on the ability to determine particular information needs, to determine sources appropriate to those needs, and to evaluate the usefulness and reliability of each source. Following general instructions on the use of the workbook, the search strategy is introduced, and discussions are presented on the search strategy components of choosing and refining a topic; locating books, periodicals, and government documents on the topic; and locating additional information as needed. A concluding discussion considers the importance of evaluating information. Six worksheets are provided for the various components of the search strategy, and selected listings of subject encyclopedias and subject indexes are included. (Author/KM)
