Getting Started

First you need a plan.  Use one of the research strategies/models to help you through the process.

These are the basic steps you should try to follow:

1. Define your problem or question
2. Decide what sources of information you can use (make a list)
3. Locate your sources 
4. Start reading, printing, taking notes
5. Organize all the data you have and write your paper or  complete your  assignment
6. Evaluate how well you did. What could you do differently next time?
