Research Skills & Source Evaluation
How to use this information
This activity is designed to save you a lot of time, and improve your grades now, and for the rest of your academic studies.
Ask these six questions about your research topic, (not necessarily in that order!) and you will be much closer to producing a complete piece of work.
Your teachers and other students in your group are usually some of the best information resources available to you, because they know what you are trying to do.
Computer systems like Destiny Quest, Encyclopedia Britannica and Google only know what you tell them to look for.
Try to remember that the best information sources are not on the public internet, they take time, effort and money to produce.
If you want to save time, and raise the quality of your work, use the 'paid-for' resources via Destiny Quest provided by your Library BEFORE you try searching the internet :-)
Take a look at the movie and the Google search tips here to discover some of the powerful ways you can harness the power of Google to help you.
The home page of the Secondary Library has links to many popular and useful resources to help you with your work.
