Here's a guarantee: There will be times in your research when you should turn to books for information:
- when you need a lot of information on a topic
- when you need context for your topic
- when you need historical information
- when you need research summaries
- when you need to find what's been done by researchers and experts
- when you need to add depth to a research topic
You might need the whole book, a chapter, or just a few pages, but you will need books. When the time comes, take the few minutes to get to see what the book has to offer and if it meets your needs, then apply the ASAP test to make sure it's worth your time. Your time will be well spent and your final project will be richer.
