In the past, I have conducted research in a multitude of ways. My go-to method is using internet search engines like Google or Bing. I also use the online library. I like to do my initial research on Google, and I make sure to check the source. I make sure that whatever article or website I use is a reputable source, like a .edu, .org, .gov, or something like that. As always instructed in every class I have ever taken in the 21st century, I avoid Wikipedia, or if I go to Wikipedia, I look at THEIR sources and check if they are viable and usable. However, even with all the information the world wide web gives me, the college library is the most helpful resource in my research projects and papers. Once I figure out how and where to search in the electronic library (there are correct ways to do so in order to actually find complete information and not just the annotated bibliography of a topic), I usually feel like I am set to do some good, legit research.

Organizing my research has always been challenging and can be even more difficult, depending on the topic and how many articles or pieces of research I have found. Usually, I begin by reading and weeding through whatever it is I find after I have chosen a slew of articles. Then I re-read the chosen ones again to weed out a little further the ones I want to use in my research paper or project.

By doing this, I can narrow down what usually begins as a laundry list of articles down to the most important pieces I want to use on whatever project I may be working on. This, I feel, is an essential step to being organized for a research project and, after which, will aid in making the project flow much more straightforward.
