I’m not exactly thrilled with Chapter 13 referring to us as “the best Googlers in the world” even if the contents go into detail about our nuanced and sophisticated information retrieval skills.
I just took at look at that the other day—haven’t read cover to cover–but I liked it. Would be perfect for jump-starting conversation.
Great! Now my Dean can buy the book, fire me and get a work-study student to do my job [it'll be 8 years before he realizes that approach won't work]
It would *have* to be better than the doorstop we used for 701 (Rubin’s Foundations. Let us know how it works out.
will this replace the gorman book? oh please, do!
I dropped that one a few semesters ago. This book replaces Rubin!
Just ordered this for myself. Can’t thank you enough for all your posts about professional reading – you’re really helping me keep up.
