Here are some ways to keep track of where you've been and what you've found. You probably won't use all of these strategies all of the time, but choose a few and adapt them to make them work for you.
When researching:
-
know what you're looking at
-
email good citations and articles to yourself as you find them
-
keep track of what you've done and what worked
-
take good notes
-
keep things in one place
-
print out web pages that you plan to use as sources for your assignment
