Research can feel like a fun treasure hunt if you get started on the right foot and stay focused on your topic.

Three of the most important things to remember while researching are:

• Keep track of your sources while you are collecting information.  I recommend using MyBib.

• Put the information you are using into your own words and in a way that sounds natural to you; this will help you avoid plagiarism.

• Evaluate your sources to ensure your information is accurate.  Consider using databases that contain trusted.
