How to Do Great
Online Research
By Kezia Endsley
Regardless
the intended age group, this is a good book with excellent guidelines for doing
online research. Examples and
illustrations are clear and easy to follow. As more and more books,
encyclopedias, periodicals, and
so forth are available online (sometimes the only place they are available!), honing
our abilities to utilize the Internet for more than recreational purposes is becoming ever
important.
In
addition to advice on choosing a source wisely, the reader will learn how to
pick good search terms, picking a search engine, netiquette and being safe
online. Basics for writing a good
research paper are also discussed including how to write citations and things
to avoid such as plagiarism. A glossary,
bibliography and index are included.

If you’re at all interested in what it’s like to live in
North Korea, I highly recommend this book. It tracks the lives of several North
Koreans from various walks of life. It’s full of fascinating details such as
the gruesome, anti-American children’s literature read by students, what it’s
like to be a dating teenager, how the North Koreans look at their own and other
countries and much more.
It’s an easy-to-read and engaging narrative. Some of the events
our heroes go through, however, are harrowing and unforgettable.
