About the Author
Jenny L. Presnell is a Humanities and Social Sciences Librarian at Miami University, Ohio
Praise for this book
"The Information-Literate Historian provides a thorough overview of the research process for historians. Presnell admirably guides students of history through the process of conducting research - all the way from identifying basic research terminologies to discussing various kinds of sources to providing numerous examples of how to locate said sources. The sheer amount of information within this text is impressive, especially given its relatively short length. Presnell's prose is clear and concise, but also accessible to students looking to undertake historical research. The utility of The Information-Literate Historian is such that I would assign it without hesitation to both undergraduate students and first-year graduate students as a reference tool." - Matt King, University of South Florida
"A comprehensive, practical guide to the historical research process, with important guidance for students on locating and evaluating sources and
leveraging technology in the research process." - Jennifer Adler, East Tennessee State University
"Presnell has a nice way of being informally formal in her writing. Her writing and word choices are not intimidating to students. You can tell Presnell has taught a research methods class." - Matt Malczycki, Auburn University
