Where can I find reliable information for my family, business, or personal interests?

Finding the Information You Need — Research Tips for Your Family, Business, or Personal Pursuits

By Lillie Ammann

The Publisher Says  . . .

Research doesn't have to mean looking through microscopes in laboratories for science projects or reading musty history tomes for term papers. Learn how to find the information you need — whether it's knowledge critical for your family's health, intelligence important for the success of your business, facts useful in making buying decisions, or simply lore you want to know. Discover how to evaluate the reliability of the data you gather as well.
