Edited books are valuable in that the individual chapters are generally authored by specialists. Sometimes the chapters were originally published as journal articles, and are reprinted because of their enduring importance. In other cases, the editors have asked authors with differing perspectives to state their points of view on a single topic. These multiple "takes" on a single subject can be crucial in looking at a topic's broader perspective.
Be careful, though. Like the other type of book, edited books can become outdated. It is therefore important to make sure the edited books you use in your research are current and valid.
NECESSARY INFORMATION AND WHERE TO FIND IT:
Author(s) of chapter can generally be found in the table of contents and on the first page of the author's chapter Year of publication can sometimes be found at the bottom of the title page; otherwise look on the page directly behind the title page, where it says "Copyright ©" Title of chapter can be found in the table of contents as well as on the first page of the chapter Editor(s) of book can generally be found on both the cover (or dust jacket) and title page. Title of Edited book can also be found on both the cover and title page. Edition/Revision number (if any) is usually indicated on the cover (or dust jacket) or title page. If no edition number or revision information is present on either of these places, assume that the book is an original edition Pages of chapter are sometimes specified in the table of contents; otherwise, make a note of the first and last page numbers of the actual article Place of publication is usually listed on the title page Publishing entity is almost always printed at the bottom of the title page. If no listing is made here, try the page directly behind the title page
