Research Strategies

I learned to write research papers armed with many postcards in a library.
I often start my research there, because I like the way libraries feel and they put me in the mood to write papers. I also usually start with physical books, not from online sources.
From there, I like EBSCOhost and other internet sources that allow me to peruse many articles from Academic Journals. I have fallen in love with the Kentucky Virtual Library.

I am kind of anal about how I copy down information to.
I always direct quote onto notecards so I can paraphrase later without accidently direct quoting.
I have MLA notecards for each source, and I arrange my notecards in that manner.

I like www.picsearch.com for my kids. It's a good source of "clean" pictures.
