Now that you understand basic search techniques and the differences between personal and scholarly research, it’s time to try out what you’ve learned.
For this assignment, select a topic that you might want to use for a term paper. (If you are writing a term paper for another class, feel free to use that topic.)
For assistance on taking screen shots, click below (However, if you know how to use the Snippet tool, you can do that instead of using the Print Screen (prtscn) button but be sure to catch the top so the search shows.)
