A few notes about research

1. Library copies are 10 cents per page. Since we are using reference books predominately for this project, it will help you to make a few copies of pages for notetaking (especially if you will be absent during our scheduled library time.

2. I do not allow drop-ins during class periods OTHER than your own. Make copies of materials that you can utilize in other classes (if your instructor allows it).

3. Use INK only on note and bib cards.

4. Limit the number of items that you write as quotations, and highlight short or long quotes on the note cards.

5. Make your bib cards look just like a works cited entry (p. 30-1) in Style Books.

6. If your Turnitin account is not active, be sure that it is no later than Feb. 2nd.
