This engaging textbook gives science and engineering students the information literacy skills they need for college and their future careers, both of which require implementing complex concepts in scientific communication. The book teaches students basic skills to do well by decoding real-world information literacy problems. It also offers details about the utility, structure, and packaging of information, giving students the strong foundation they need to absorb more advanced concepts in scientific communication. Mary DeJong provides students with a compelling context and rationale for the skills they are being asked to learn, helping them learn to appreciate the value of these skills for career success. Most important, the book is written specifically for students, so it's appropriately thorough, well-paced, and engaging. In fact, it's often funny!
