In order to begin your Project /Assignment you need to be able to find useful and relevant information.
Developing an effective search is an important part of this process.
You need to think of the various Steps in the Online Searching – from places to search, to resources to find, to writing & referencing
Research it Right!This interactive FUN tutorial can help you get started with your research. It describes the steps of the research process from finding a topic to the final product. (Vaughan Memorial Library at Acadia)
Step 1: Define your research topic
State your topic as a question
This is a good way to start your search. It helps you clarify your thoughts and define the topic
Step 2: Read about your topic
When you search for information, you will use keywords and concepts. To get them correctly, you will have to do some reading about the topic.
The best place to start reading is in the Reference resources (encyclopedias, dictionaries, thesaurus, etc.), all of which will give you more than enough information to begin your search.
Useful Online Reference Works: Encyclopedias, Dictionaries, Yearbooks, etc.
- Gather the information from the databases and books
- Read and make notes
- Acknowledge “in-text” referencing (you will forget later from where you get that section)
- Compile Reference list (select the Harvard method, which is requested by the Department)
Write the paper, check, make adjustments.
