Review :
Overall, the Concise Guide to Information Literacy provides a thorough overview of the academic research process. The authors have thoughtfully edited the content and reframed the text using the Reflective Inquiry Model without diminishing the source material. This is an improved edition that is well worth including in an academic collection.
