Write down citations. Search the Internet Use keyword search tools or subject search tools to find sites related to your topic. Use Boolean operators to expand or limit your search. Write down the name, URL, and date for your citation. Remember, the Internet is not a site.
Tips Work from the general to the specific.
Find background information first, then locate more specific and recent sources. Keep track of what you have searched so you don't waste time looking in the same place twice.

Depending on the assignment, you should be checking the following sources available in the RCHS Media Center.
