Helpful Research Tips

Helpful tips when working on a research project

1. Read the assignment carefully. If you are confused or unsure talk with your World History teacher. 

2. Do some basic background research of the important concepts and people associated with your topic. Our library databases such as, Gale in Context, ABC-CLIO, and Oxford Reference offer sources that can give you an overview of a topic. 

3. Get organized. NoodleTools can help you with this as it saves all of your citations, links, and annotations in one place.

4. If you are unsure that your source is reliable/acceptable come see Prep's Librarian, Mrs. Hermeline in the library, located on the 1st floor of the English building.
