Reviews
"Books like this one are so helpful and handy for busy reference librarians needing to get students pointed quickly to the effective research paths that the reviewer is sure that it will find a home in many libraries, particulary those serving undergraduates needing social science references. On topics such as this one, there are almost too many information possiblilities and having a book to recommend further reading and Internet sites will be appreciated."—American Reference Books Annual
