This second edition covers 50 exercises (up from 35) and includes two new chapters—“What Is Information?” (chapter 2) and “Assessment” (chapter 11). For the most part, chapter progression mirrors the sequence of a typical information literacy course, starting with “Getting Ready for Research” and moving through “Books and Catalogs,” “Periodicals and Databases,” and “The Web and Scholarly Research.” For each exercise, the authors provide a goal, a description, and tips for conducting the exercise.
