A very useful introduction to historical research.

Good resource for undergraduate students or perhaps graduate students who are woefully unprepared. Nothing "new" for librarians, though it could be a good resource to consult when creating library instruction sessions for history classes, for getting more of the history perspective. Most similar to something like Badke's Research Strategies, only for the history student. (With a lot less helpful hints about HOW to take notes, but then very few books rival Badke on some of those kinds of things)

I refer to this book when preparing for my History instruction sessions. It may not be the most elegantly written book, but it's certainly useful!
