Ask yourself: Do you prefer taking notes on paper or on a computer--or both? How will you keep track of your research? There is no wrong answer to this question; but organizing yourself before you begin research will help you be more efficient in your work.
Goals for Our Library Research Session
Goal 1. Identify at least 5-10 key concepts that interest you about your topic, and form your research question.
Goal 2. Find at least two sources in class today using article databases. Save them so that you can find them later. It's OK if you don't end up using them in your final paper!
Goal 3: Use the citation tools to cite your sources properly.
