Arvustused

Comprehensive and thoroughly 'reader friendly' in tone, content, organization, and presentation, "Practical Tips for Facilitating Research" is strongly recommended library and information professionals who work with research staff and students and an essential, core addition to college and university Library Science reference collections and supplemental studies lists. -- Midwest Book Review ... a book that offers a variety of approaches, insight, and real-world examples that work exactly what you need whether you are searching for a simple solution to quickly improve services, or ideas to help inform and shape a more fundamental or strategic change. -- Michelle Dalton * Libfocus * Benefitting from Bents exhaustive research and robust content, this volume will be very useful for academic librarians, particularly subject and faculty liaisons and instruction librarians. * Library Journal * Practical Tips for Facilitating Research is an excellent tool for librarians who want to be a resource for the research groups within their facilities. -- Vicki Harden * Journal of Electronic Resources in Medical Libraries * I would highly recommend this book to any librarian working with researchers in the health sciences, and to many of our colleagues working in other disciplines, for that matter. The book is short, realistic, practical, easy to read, and extremely useful for generating ideas. As for me, I am still starry eyed. I know I will be referring back to this book and my copious marginalia for the foreseeable futurethat is of course until my colleagues start asking to borrow my copy! -- Sarah May Visintini * Journal of the Canadian Health Libraries Association *
