A quick review:

• Doing research is a skill. The more you do research, the better you'll get at it.

• The Assignment Calculator (http://panther.indstate.edu/calc/) provides you with a basic timeline for writing your paper. It also gives you links to helpful resources and can send you e-mail reminders.

• If you're not sure where to begin your research, talk with another person about the assignment. This will help you focus.

• The library offers tutorials on many research topics (http://panther.indstate.edu/tutorials/), including
  • Search Tools
  • Choosing a Database
  • Top Ten Database Search Tips
  • Evaluating Articles
  • Evaluating Web Sites

• If one way of searching doesn't work, try a different way.

• The most important thing is to ask for help when you need it! Librarians are standing by.
