Now in a new edition, Who Says? The Writer's Research is an innovative and brief research guide focusing on information literacy. The text shows students not only how to do research but also why research is important.
Written for today's college student, Who Says? addresses contemporary research issues head on:
- What does it mean to conduct research in an age when we are bombarded by collaborative information through online media and databases like Wikipedia?
- Who owns this information? How do we know?
- As information circulates and changes, do the lines between audience and author blur?
- How should these changes alter our expectations as readers and as writers?
By prompting students to think critically about matters of ownership and authority, Who Says? not only shows students how to find and incorporate credible sources in their writing, but also encourages students to synthesize their own ideas with the ideas of others, leading them to develop more confident and compelling voices as writers.

"Who Says? provides a balanced, substantial approach to the fundamentals of writing an effective research paper. It should build confidence in even the most timid students by breaking the process down into discrete stages and readily achievable steps. The book emphasizes classical research techniques and innovative digital materials-something for everyone."
--Cary D. Ser, Miami-Dade College
"Who Says? presents fundamental information in a charming package. I highly recommend it for its relevance, clarity, brevity, and coverage, especially for a writing-intensive course. I like the way Holdstein and Aquiline present their points: clearly, cleanly, and effectively. Their use of cartoons, illustrations, and even a reference to The Beatles and the Obamas make this text relevant to older and younger students alike."
--Moumin Manzoor Quazi, Tarleton State University
"Who Says? is an excellent overview of the writing/research process. I appreciate the authors' friendly, engaging style. It covers all of the material I usually want to cover in my composition courses. Its strengths are its engaging tone and clear writing, its coverage of all stages of the research/writing process, and its careful attention to source evaluation and avoiding plagiarism."
--Jill Marie Treftz, Marshall University
