Research Writing in the Information Age

Research Writing in the Information Age reflects a unique collaboration: the expertise of a librarian, a classroom teacher, and a rhetorician guides students through the research process. Beginning with invention and exploration, this book integrates current technology, research methods, and evaluation of sources to help students construct cohesive and responsible research papers. Students learn to write in their own voices to an audience whose needs they have been taught to discover. The text covers both APA and MLA styles of documentation, with sample papers in each style, and treats both library and electronic research techniques as integral steps in the process. Research Writing in the Information Age is a collaborative, real-world, user-friendly text designed to teach students contemporary techniques to take them into the next century.
