Think with purpose
• I would spend 55 minutes to understand and formulate the problem, and 5 minutes to come up with ideas/execute the solution.

Framing Make a key
question about what you looking to find before you actually are on the Internet with several key words written down on a piece of paper.

Finding
• Using either your whole question or key words: Search using appropriate search engines or data bases such as:
- Goggle Scholar
- www.webcrawler.com
- EBScoHost
- Emerald
- J-Stor
- or Yahoo and Goggle as a last resort

Selecting 1
• Read briefly the description line and only if it has elements of your question or key words open it.
• Once opened read the abstract or if a wikipedia the overview section.
• The if you believe it fits your research query; download if you can as a pdf and save to either to the computer or flash

Selecting 2
• If you are using a public computer download to the computer if is in pdf and email to yourself or put in Dropbox
• Remember Wikipedi is a start not a final point of research – so review it only to get a clear idea of the concept but remember to continue to look for academic or peer-reviewed research material

Selecting 3
• If you find an article that only has an abstract but the full article requires payment; write down the author’s email or name – and send them a request for a re-print of that work.
