A TYPICAL ASSIGNMENT

It is a fact of college life that many classes are going to require some kind of a research paper or speech. The good news is that once you've figured out how a research paper is constructed, you can pretty much use the same techniques to prepare other papers and speeches. You won't have to learn a completely new set of skills for each paper.

From the information searcher's point of view, the important parts of a research paper or speech are:

  1. The text of the paper or speech.
  2. The sources (articles, web sites, interviews, etc.) that you use.
We are going to focus on finding the best sources, a very important part of the writing process. If you have relevant, reputable sources of information, you'll whip that paper or speech out in no time!
