=3. Location and Access =

During location and access you find the information. You might choose books off a shelf. You might browse magazines. You might search the Internet, access databases, conduct an interview. You are engaged with finding information.


 * 3.1 Locate sources (intellectually and physically).**

Books -- Check the iBistro to see if there are any biographies of Shakespeare in the library.

Websites -- If you choose to use a website you must evaluate the website. To do so you must use this form. You will turn in the form with your bibliography. A form must be used for each website you use (unless the website is provided for you).


 * 3.2 Find information within sources.**

Finding a source does not necessarily mean you have found information. When you use a database, for example, you may find an abstract or just a citation for a source. The full text of the article is not available. While you could certainly cite the source you have __not__ found information for your project. That source would need to be discarded unless you were able to locate the article using a different search in a different database or with a search engine.

EVERY source from which you obtain information __must__ be cited on your "Works Cited" page. Each bit of information you find must be connected to a source. The first step of this process is your note-taking. For this project we are using a Word document with each source on a different page. At the beginning of the page is the citation. The notes are written below the citation. There is __no__ copying/pasting within the document except for the citation information. (//Retyping the article is "old-fashioned" copying/pasting!)//
