Internet Library series.
A useful resource for upper elementary and secondary school students, this revised edition now includes more kid-friendly examples for solving research problems with a six-step process, starting with defining the task and ending with assessing the final product. Screen shots and websites have been updated, but the writing is still clunky, and two of the links are already dead. Reading list. Glos., ind.

Internet Library series.
Despite persistently clumsy writing, this guide is a helpful resource for students with research projects. Wolinsky models the Big6 approach, a six-step problem-solving process that starts with defining a task and ends with evaluating a final product. The book also describes how to use the Internet and presentation software (such as PowerPoint) effectively. Diagrams, screenshots, and web links are included. Bib., glos., ind.
