Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: `The authors did an excellent job of addressing many of the "real world" issues in conducting a business research project. They have given care to address some of the issues that often represent the major stumbling blocks for students engaged in business research projects.... An excellent text.... It is concise, very readable and addresses many of the issues that we, as instructors, grapple with as we assign research projects′ - Andrew M Forman, PhD, Hofstra University Designing and Implementing a Research Project is a concise, easy to read text designed to guide business students through the various aspects of designing and managing research projects. The focus is on research projects that have a solid academic basis, although some implications for more applied projects are also highlighted. It is divided into three main sections, `Laying the Foundations′, `Undertaking the Research′, and `Communicating the Results′, which present a logical flow for the research project. A unique aspect of the book is the inclusion of particular chapters on topics like supervision, group work and ethics, and the focus of the discussion of data analysis (qualitative and quantitative). The authors have applied their years of past experience in supervising student projects, when writing this book to provide some actual examples of problems and practical guidelines. This unique book presents a step-by-step guide for undertaking research projects that is multidisciplinary in focus and student friendly in style. It could be used, as either a text, or a supplementary text on courses in management (including industrial psychology) and marketing. Graduate students in related fields such as health care administration, public administration, and nursing administration would also find this text useful.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every day researchers face an onslaught of irrelevant, inaccurate, and sometimes insidious information. While new technologies provide powerful tools for accessing knowledge, not all information is created equal. Valuable information may be tucked away on a shelf, buried on the hundredth page of search results, or hidden behind digital barriers. With so many obstacles to effective research, it is vital that higher education students master the art of inquiry. Information Now is an innovative approach to information literacy that will reinvent the way college students think about research. Instead of the typical textbook format, it uses illustrations, humor, and reflective exercises to teach students how to become savvy researchers. Students will learn how to evaluate information, to incorporate it into their existing knowledge base, to wield it effectively, and to understand the ethical issues surrounding its use. Written by two library professionals, it incorporates concepts and skills drawn from the Association of College and Research Libraries’ Information Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education and their Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education. Thoroughly researched and highly engaging, Information Now offers the tools that students need to become powerful consumers and creators of information. Whether used by a high school student tackling a big paper, an undergrad facing the newness of a university library, or a writer wanting to go beyond Google, Information Now is a powerful tool for any researcher’s arsenal.

Book excerpt: Why Online Research is Important for StudentsIn today's digital age, the internet has become an indispensable tool for students. Gone are the days when one had to rely solely on traditional libraries and textbooks for research. Online research offers a wealth of information and resources at our fingertips, making it an essential skill for students to master. This subchapter will explore the reasons why online research is crucial for students, with a focus on saving time in internet technology usage. First and foremost, online research provides students with access to an enormous amount of information. The internet is a vast repository of knowledge, offering a wide range of sources such as academic journals, books, articles, and educational websites. With just a few clicks, students can find the information they need for their assignments, projects, or exams. This vast availability of resources saves students from the limitations of physical libraries and allows them to explore diverse perspectives and ideas. Moreover, online research enables students to save time by providing efficient search tools. Search engines like Google have revolutionized the way we find information. By using specific keywords, students can quickly locate relevant sources, eliminating the need to sift through numerous books or articles manually. Additionally, search engines often provide advanced search options that allow users to filter results based on factors such as publication date or source credibility, ensuring the accuracy and relevance of the information obtained. Furthermore, online research facilitates collaboration among students. With the internet, students can connect with peers from around the world, share ideas, and work on projects together. Platforms such as online forums, academic social networks, and collaborative document editors enable students to collaborate effectively, reducing the time spent on coordinating schedules and physical meetings. Finally, online research equips students with valuable digital literacy skills. In today's technology-driven society, being able to critically evaluate online sources and discern reliable information from misinformation is crucial. Online research teaches students to assess the credibility of sources, differentiate between reliable and biased information, and develop a discerning eye for quality content. These skills are not only essential for academic success but also for navigating the vast sea of information available on the internet in their personal and professional lives.
