Contributors are educators, librarians, and researchers with backgrounds in writing, information literacy, and technical communication. In the first two parts of the book, they survey findings on students' research-writing behaviors and how students themselves represent their research-writing practices. Of special interest is a chapter on criticisms of the undergraduate research paper assignment, which come from educators, researchers, and students. The second half of the book presents pedagogical, programmatic, and institutional solutions to help students, offering ideas for curriculum development and library/writing program partnerships. Some chapters include appendices of rubrics, student assignments, and classroom handouts. B&w screenshots illustrate online search spaces. McClure has taught writing at the university level. Purdy directs the writing center at Duquesne University. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
