Synopsis

This book focuses on the skill of "retrieval power" to help scientific researchers, young students, professionals and readers grasp the search initiative to "go against the wind" in the era of information overload. The training process of information literacy is a process of shaping a person to be full of interest and always have a spirit of inquiry into new things, which includes the cross-integration of cognition, emotion, behavior and metacognition. Based on his more than 20 years of search experience, combined with scientific cases from the humanities and Nobel Prizes, the author uses plain language to transform boring and cumbersome skill tools into interesting search stories, allowing readers to learn to use, create and exchange information through easy reading, improve their information literacy, and gradually have the courage and ability to get out of the "information cocoon".

Reader comments

It's a very simple truth, but I have to write more than 100,000 words to discuss it. How many things are pieced together from other people's books? How much have you truly understood and experienced? The purpose of learning is to apply what you have learned. Why talk about so much useless stuff? In fact, there are only a few principles 1. Don't give passive information, take the initiative to think about questions, for example: Why will the sun shine tomorrow but there will be more stars tonight? Do the positions of the stars always stay the same? Or does it change with time like the sun and moon? 2. Go to various search engines, whether it's Baidu, Zhihu, or various books, to find the answers you want. 3. There are many answers. Which ones are true? What's the basis? Raise doubts and argue from multiple perspectives 4. Internalize and output the final result, understand it, and be able to express it Of course, if you are a scientific researcher or engaged in academic research, then you can read it carefully. The author still introduces many examples and methods in detail. For the professor's attentiveness, I give it an eight (●'◡'●)

The author explains retrieval techniques in the form of interesting stories, making boring knowledge come alive. I am often troubled by not being able to find key information at work. This book helped me learn how to find the information I need quickly and accurately, which improved my work efficiency. Recommended to everyone!
