You are begining to search for the information that you will use in your paper. For best results...
How are you going to keep your research results? Decide whether you are going to store online journal articles in your EBSCO folder, print the articles, save them to a jump drive, or send them to your e-mail account.
How are you going to save the information you find in a book? Options include photocopying the section including the book's title page information or to taking notes from the book.
How are you retaining web page information? You can print the page or print a selection from the page.
Are you using an interview? An interview can be audio or video recorded or the interviewer can write down the oral interview. If you are planning to use an interview it is a good idea to develop some of your questions ahead of time.
When you collect the information you will use in your paper -- journal articles, books, web pages, interviews, etc. it is a good idea to review what information you will need to cite the sources used. This way you will collect the information you need as you find the resource.
Another tip is to keep your notes together. If the various forms don't permit this, a list of the resources in digital, copied, and audio or video form will help you to remember and draw on these resources as you write.
