Before You Start Searching...

Think about how you will collect and organize the citations you discover during the research process.

print out articles and write down the citations?
email articles to yourself from the database?
what about books?
primary sources?

Citation management is a crucial step in the research process.

I highly suggest using a citation management program - a powerful, easy-to-use research tool that helps you gather, organize, and analyze sources and then share the results of your research.
