Guidelines for Research

1) Search the databases and websites linked below for your topic. Remember to try alternate search terms.

2) When using a search engine to find additional sources, be critical of the sources you find. 

Use the ABCs of website evaluation to determine if the source is credible:

A = Authority   Who is the author or which organization created the website?

B = Bias    Is the website biased by its creator's purpose or mission? What can you tell about the purpose of the site based on the domain name (.com, .edu, .gov, .org)?

C = Current Content    Was the content created recently enough for your research needs?

3)  Use NoodleTools to track your citations and take notes. Use your FLHS email to log in. 

If you can't get in to NoodleTools, email Mrs. Bowline at bowlinem@flhsemail.org :)
