This work is an extraordinary guide that runs through all the labyrinths in which a young researcher can be found and offers an essential thread to avoid getting lost in his task. In the first place it provides all the information that is needed to carry out good research work in the university. Teach the necessary tactics and skills such as: use the sources in libraries, record the information, organize the material and, above all, restrict a topic. The councils include all the details on the preparation of drafts, their revision, the final drafting and the preparation of the bibliography.
But what is truly special about this work is that it allows readers to follow five students in different research projects in the disciplines of literature, psychology and biology: how they develop their interests, concentrate their ideas, search for sources, take notes, sketch, review, correct and design the final version of their work. In addition to the classic resources, it is also shown in detail how to benefit from the new electronic tools: the databases in CD ROM, the electronic mail, Internet and its sources.

A work that also tries to convey to students the spirit and value of independent learning, and will help them to notice that such learning is an exciting part of their university experience.
