I used the tag "school librarian" to locate the book, 99 Jumpstarts to Research: Topic Guides for Finding Information on Current Issues by Peggy Whitley. My search pulled up only 13 hits, which surprised me actually. Of my choices, I chose 99 Jumpstarts... because is seems like it would be a good jumping off point for the types of research teens are required to do. As per the description, this book includes such information for each topic as: "suggested search terms; questions to think about related to the topic; sources for background and statistics; a listing of specific LC and Sears subject headings; magazines and newspapers; Internet sources with specific URLs and suggestions for locating additional Web sites; and agencies both private and public." This book seems like it would make a great collection to our professional library at school.
