//Locating sources - Physically // You will need to ask yourself some questions that you might not have considered as part of your research process. If you are going to the library, do you have a library card? What if you are using your home computer...Is your internet access connecting? These questions are important to answer because they may impact the sources you choose.

Now that you are prepared to access your research, it's time to physically find your sources. This is the part of the process where you go to the bookshelf and find your book or log into the internet and find the site you have selected. Here are few good websites to help find authentic reference sources [] [] []

It is now time to find the information you need from within the sources you selected. Most reference books contain a table of contents as well as an index to help you locate your research information. Internet searches can be narrowed down by the use of keyword searches. A keyword search involves taking key words from the topic you selected and using those words to search on. You will also want to use synonyms and related terms to narrow your search. Boolean operators will help you utilize your keywords to get even more specific hits.
