Researching for Success

Finding Information: Step 2

Finding the best information to answer a question saves time. There are many sources of information available but not all are useful for research. 
 
It is important to use quality information from several sources.  
 
By the end of this step you will be able to:

§ I can gather relevant information from a variety of sources to answer a question.

§ I can narrow my search to get useful results.

§ I can use technology tools to help me keep track of relevant sources and share the information I find. 

 
 
Let's Practice using a Library data base

Library Database

Let's practice using a library database to find information.  The EBSCO Academic Premier is available to all students through the INFOhio link on the school website.  At home, you will need your INFOhio password.  
  • Find the article, “Advertising Gets Personal,” written by Samuel Greengard and published in the academic journal, Communications of the ACM.
  • Read the article citation.
  • Answer the following questions:
  • 1. How many pages is the article? 
  • 2. In what format is the full text article available?
** See your teacher for the correct answers.
