Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Select your research key words. Use Boolean operators. Find the research resources available to you. Avoid common search engines. Ask for help from a research assistant. Take thorough notes.

Answer: This may seem like an obvious step, but you will need to choose the words that you use to research. To do this, brainstorm a list of words that are related to your topic. You may find that you need to revise your search terms as you progress. If you are searching for sources about the endangered species cheetah, your search terms may be "cheetah," "endangered," "habitat," "climate change," "grasslands," "fur trade," and "conservation." If you are searching for sources about juvenile imprisonment, your search terms may be "juvenile," "youth," "imprisonment," "prisons," "juvenile delinquency," "effectiveness of imprisonment," and "detention." Boolean operators are words that function as limiting commands. They give you the ability to combine keywords and limit your search. The most common Boolean terms are AND, OR, and NOT. Another common Boolean limiter is to place quotation marks around exact phrases. For example "juvenile detention" (with quotation marks) would give you sources that use the terms together as a phrase, while juvenile detention (without quotation marks) would yield results for both "juvenile" and "detention" separately. For example, you may want to search prisons AND juvenile to ensure sources talk about both terms. For example, you may want to search cheetah NOT girls to exclude the Disney movie Cheetah Girls from your search about cheetahs. Many instructors and librarians will compile research resources for a particular research project. There may be a customized database on your library's webpage that automatically limits your search to pre-approved sources, or your librarian may have set aside a cart of printed books that will be reserved in the library for the duration of the research project. These types of customized resources will save you time and make your research process easier. If customized research aids are not available, you should still consult the library's databases. Often, the sources in the databases are legitimate academic sources that are appropriate for an academic assignment. As tempting as it can be to open up your favorite search engine and look up your research keywords, this shouldn't be your first stop for research. If you use a common search engine, you will have to evaluate the legitimacy of each source you find, and you will have to sort through many, many pages of often irrelevant search materials. Common search engines use some limiters, but often the Boolean operators do not work effectively. If you feel overwhelmed by starting your research project, talk to a librarian who specializes in research assistance. Remember that you are not bothering them; it's their job to help students research! Ask for a few specific starting points (don't let them overwhelm you further with a long list of research sources) and let your research "snowball" on its own. You're likely to find that once you get started, it will become easier to find and evaluate sources, find the research you need, and move forward with your research project. Now that you have started to research, you need to collect the information. As you read sources, collect notes from the source. You can either take direct quotes from the source (word-for-word; indicate that the information is a direct quote by putting quotation marks around it) or you can paraphrase the information (put it in your own words). Either way, you will need to keep track of and cite the source. You can take notes by hand by putting them in a research notebook or put individual facts on index cards. Be sure to indicate the source when you write the notes; you might want to number your sources and place the number from the source next to the piece of information/research. You can also take notes on the computer by copying and pasting source material into a word processing document. Be sure to keep track of what source information came from; you may want to provide a link to a source and a citation, then place research from that source below the citation.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Put on safety gear. Cut the gourd. Scrape out the inside of the gourd. Sand the inside of the gourd.

Answer:
Rubber gloves are useful again for handling gourds that may still have mold or other harmful substances on them. Work in a ventilated environment and wear a dust mask because of the dust inside the gourd. Finally, wear eye protection when using power tools. The way you cut the gourd and the tool you use depends on your intended use. For example, a power drill can be used to make a hole for a birdhouse, or you can cut an opening using hand saws and rotary cutters to make a decorative container. Birds don't mind the papery pulp and seeds inside the gourd, but you will have to get rid of them when making something other than a birdhouse. Tools with long handles, such as clay sculpting tools, spoons, and screwdrivers can help you reach the seeds and scrape pulp off the walls of the gourd. When the opening is too small or the seeds are in a tough ball, you can soak the gourd in warm water for 30 minutes. However, it will take several hours for the gourd to dry. Pulp and seeds can be saved for projects such as replanting or pulp sculptures by straining them and letting them dry in a single layer. Depending on your product, such as when making a bowl, you may wish to make the inside of the gourd smooth. Use your sanding tool. Afterwards, you may wish to add primer, dye, or paint to decorate the gourd. Gourd Ball cleaner or a mushroom tool, which is used to cut off the caps of mushrooms, can also be used to sand the inside of the gourd.
