Research Process videos

Per Cyn's original mtg request:

• We need to develop an outline of how we want to breakdown the research process
• Decide what steps we would like to include
• Start writing a loose script.

=========================================

Cyn & I met on 4/27/2011 at 9am. The following outline was the result:

1. Broad general concept
2. Narrow that concept (then narrow some more)
3. Thesis statement (which further narrows your concept/topic)
4. Get your keywords from this (i.e. do NOT do natural language searching)
5. Choose Your Correct Database
6. Personal Librarians pages
7. Databases by subject
8. Searching Databases
• type1
• type2
• type3
9. Analyzing Results (i.e. "choosing articles" / note: "Most people stop here")
10. Second-order searching
11. Third-order searching
12. "Rinse & Repeat" as necessary
13. Review Your Notes
14. Plagiarism & Citation
15. Writing
16. Proofread, and consult with your professor
