Source Scanner card
Tran: Read this space for tips and help.
Purpose: Use Source Scanner to organize a search for information. For each topic, list the information you need, sources to check, and where you found the sources. You can keep track of your sources to make your bibliography.
Tips:
1. A key to success in gathering information is to follow a plan. When you are clear on the focus for your research, you will not waste time with irrelevant information.
2. The first planning step is to make an outline for the sub-topics of your topic or project.
3. Then make a list of the best sources to find information on these sub-topics.
4. Keep track of where you find these sources. This will help you go back to check information and to list your references.
