Plan your strategySaves time, more effective and should give better results
Write a precise definition of what you are looking for
Make a list of keywords, phrases, synonyms and names
Be prepared to narrow or broaden your search as you go along

Avoid plagiarismBe methodical - list all the places or sources you are going to
search and tick them off as you check them.
BOOKS: Note the author, title, place of publication, publisher and date of publication.
JOURNALS: Note the author, year of publication, title of the article, title of the journal, volume or part number and page reference.

Avoid plagiarismINTERNET PAGES: Note the author, year the site was published/updated, title of the site, the URL and the date you accessed it. If you can’t find an author, just the title will be enough.
Use different coloured ink or a different font for your own thoughts.
