Use of Information
Identify the information you will use, and take notes. Also
determine which sources contain very general — or background
— information, and which contain more specific —
or subtopic — information.
If your task is to explain or analyze
the most recent findings about a topic, you can choose the
latest news
articles rather than an archive or the encyclopedia. Read
through your sources, take notes, and cite your sources so
you can easily go back to them if you need more information.
You can use the BritannicaSchool Note-taking
tool to keep track of relevant information while you are
working online, and save your notes to your Workspace.
