Take advantage of the time given
I used to wait for the last minute to start doing my homework. It doesn't help when you have to write a paper that is required to do research as well. I noticed that if you start working on the paper right away it does help. You don't have to finish the paper in one sitting, but finish parts of the paper a day.

Use an audio recorder
Many times I have recorded my thoughts, observations, and views on material. Later, I can "go back," and review my work.

Handwriting notes
The tip that has always used is organizing my notes on the notebook. It doesn’t matter where I research for the information, I always like to put together my information on a notebook. I hand write my notes because I can always go back and scratch lines that I don’t need and can always find spots using arrows to add line or ideas that I read later.

Tip for LIB10
A tip that helps me get through difficult work is I set up a solid hour or two in my day for homework and studying. I make sure that environment is a quiet place and stress-free. The tip I learned from watching this slide show is to organize my material. Make sure I know where to find specific notes I have taken. I do this because it relieves stress when I need to quickly refer back to things. That is a wonderful step I use while researching topics.

Planner!
Organize all your papers into files, at home and the notes you carry around. Note all deadlines of papers, midterms and finals in your planner (have a planner!) at the start of the quarter...there's nothing worse that realizing you only have a week for a 7 page paper!

Resources
I have never relied on websites as the primary source for my research. Try to use mostly books or scholarly journals, they are more accurate.

Organizing notes
I put citation information on large notecards as well as notes about any references listed, search terms, etc. Then on 3x5 cards I put all the notes, quotes, and other information I want to use in my work. I code these so I can match the 3x5 cards to the source card and put them in a plastic card file. The large cards act as dividers in the file. I can label the card files by subject. I then have research that I can use and add to.
