Source Evaluation & Annotated Bibliographies: PROCESS

1.) Locate Works - Find books, periodicals, and documents that may contain useful information and ideas on your topic. (Use the library's Multi Search, a database, or Books & Media tab to get started.)

2.) Select the Best of your research that provide a variety of perspectives, and if leading to a documented essay, works that you feel will provide the best support for your essay.
