Welcome
Welcome to the library! We are here to help you with your Cause and Effect research paper for ENG 111.
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.
