Recenzii
The book's overarching question is 'how do we think about information if it is not first categorized and normalized for us' through subject headings and similar guideposts. Brown's goal is to provide an answer to that question by laying out a well-drawn roadmap that will enable students, researchers, teachers, professors, and librarians to confidently find, use, and cite authoritative primary and secondary sources using Google. As a business researcher, I find Brown's book to be exceptionally helpful and confidence-building (even if my copy is by now a bit disfigured with multiple margin notes and highlights). It's a must-have resource not only for academic librarians, but also for all serious researchers.
This title is more than just for a librarian audience, who through their professional degrees have some background in how Google does (and does not) work like a research database. . . . [H]elpful for the upper level undergraduate or new graduate student transitioning from using Google Web as a default tool for all research to a more nuanced researcher, utilizing many types of tools, including Google Web, as research context dictates.
