Tip 01
It’s okay if things don’t work the first time.
Research is a journey. Trial and error is fine.
Tip 02
Google gives you answers.
The Library helps you ask better questions.
Tip 03
Not finding anything?
Try changing your keywords—small tweaks, big difference.
Tip 04
Skimming is fine at first.
But deep reading? That’s where the gold is.
Tip 05
Cite as you go.
Tip 06
Use filters.
Your search results don’t need to be a jungle.
Tip 07
Not all .coms are equal.
Try .edu, .org, or .gov for stronger credibility.
Tip 08
Quotes are powerful
but paraphrasing shows you understand.
Tip 09
Just because it’s online, doesn’t mean it’s true.
Interrogate your sources.

When in doubt, ask a librarian.
