Super SandCastle: Library Resources series.
Cheesy staged photographs of young, enthusiastic "researchers" welcome primary-grade readers on a quick tour of print and computer resources for report writing. Simple, easy-to-read texts, sidebars, and labeled photos provide brief introductions to encyclopedias, databases, and dictionaries, the information within, and how to access it. These overviews are clearly organized, and the presentations are inviting. Glos. Review covers these Library Resources titles: What Would You Do with a Database?, What Would You Do with a Dictionary?, and What Would You Do with an Encyclopedia?.
