Div III Library Toolkit: Handbooks & Guides

Umberto Eco’s wise and witty guide to researching and writing a thesis. Still an essential read, first published (in Italian) in 1977.

This book will give you an overview of the research process, from reflecting on your interests and zooming in on a problem to solve, to considering the ethical implications of your methodology, as well as the nuts and bolts of how to write clearly and structure your writing logically.

This is a useful guide for students and researchers in social sciences and humanities who wish to transform research theory into real and feasible research projects.
