Resource Search Lab

Goals

Strategy for collecting resources for research papers
  • Create folder on the H: drive to store all materials related to the project.
  • Create a word document to list all of the sources you find and save it in your new folder. This can become your annotated bibliography. You can also paste any relevant quotes from the source here. This will come in handy when you start composing your paper.


    Demonstration of methods for starting a search
    While these are not valid sources for an academic paper, they can lead to other, more scholarly sources.

  • Google or another search engine
  • Wikipedia

    Now try a search with your research topic

    Other places to start your search

  • Online news articles: Google News is quick. Use LexisNexis for a more comprehesive search of news sources.
  • Google Scholar
  • Electonic journals at the Library

    Remember, you can easily access your H: drive files off campus by pointing your browser to myfiles.pdx.edu
