Part Two: Research - Finding Information
Research is basically the search for information, whether it is library research or experimental research: the goal is to answer a research question. If you know how to use the library and the Internet well, you will have an easier time finding the information you need and putting it together in your paper. This chapter will help you find information more efficiently, as well as keep track of it and record sources correctly, so that writing your paper will go more smoothly and quickly.
Part Two Checklist:Before you continue to Part III, make sure that you have
- A Working Bibliography (Assignment 3) with your sources already in the correct format (APA or ISO 690),
- Notes from sources which have the information you need to write your paper (either on your Working Bibliography or a separate document),
- Your outline (Assignment 4) with subtopics and supporting information listed as a plan for presenting the information in your paper.
