Borne has hit the nail on the head with her choice of frequently assigned as well as popular topics. The brief background statement about each topic is concise and well written, and most of the information is general enough so as not to become out of date too quickly.... these guides could help a student produce a worthwhile paper and prepare her to do so again independently in the future.?-VOYA?Now there is help for that plaintive cry But I dont know what to write about. Borne presents ideas for term papers and speeches and gives the student an orderly process to use as research is done.... Most resources have been published since 1990 and, blessedly, permission is given to photocopy the blank forms and topic guides. I cannot imagine a school library that will not appreciate this book...The author has provided a wonderful service and will be appreciated whenever the I hafta give a speech crowd appears! Highly recommended.?-The Book Report?This positive approach to beginning library research contains a gold mine of innovative and popular topics....This book is highly recommended for high school and public libraries. It might be beneficial also for beginning college students who have not had in-depth library instruction.?-Catholic Library World"Although recommended for high school students, these guides would work with middle school students, too...
