Research is all about facts finding. Hence to discover the new facts there is a need for a well conducted research, thus, there is a need to generate awareness on how to do research properly so as to come up with vivid facts aiming at generating new knowledge. In contributing to this field, Ramadass and Aruni wrote a book titled “Research and Writing Across the Disciplines”. The book provides a strong reference for teaching and studying research in all disciplines. The book is mainly organised into two parts planned in such a way that it builds the readers knowledge stepwise towards understanding the research undertakings. The main weakness of this book is the failure to discuss the literature searching techniques. Otherwise, it is a valuable resource for researchers, university lecturers and students from all disciplines. Searching literatures online is not an easy task hence, profiling of the techniques would have added value. Searching is a challenging process due to information explosion, presence of different ways in which information is stored, lack of web content organization as well as volatility nature of web resources. Failure in literature review results into many problems including making the same mistakes as others towards reinventing the wheel.

We are living in the digital era which our computers can answer almost any question. This era has forced everyone to learn on how to use computers due to their applications and importance in our daily life. In responding to these, Onunga strived to write a book titled Computer Studies as a guideline to students and other learners. In the book, the author discussed computer in five chapters which are introduction to computer, computer hardware, computer software, safe use of computer and an introduction to Windows. The author attempted to put explanation clear through the uses of simple and straight forward English language as well as good arrangements of chapters which builds a base for the next chapter. The main weakness of this book is that the author failed to classify computers and to discuss issues related to causes of data loss as well as sources of virus in computers. Generally, the book is a very good resource for teachers who are teaching computer at secondary schools as well as the university lecturers and students.
