Overview

What are the steps you have to go through to play the Info Game?

Topics – You have to have a topic to start. There’s a good chance it will change some as you do your research, but you have to have something to look for. It’s usually best to think of the topic as a question you will answer.

Searching – How do you find the best information in the huge sea that’s out there? Simple Google searches are not good enough for a college research project.

Evaluation – Learning how to quickly identify reliable, relevant information will make your project better and easier.

Variety of Sources – Within the web there are lots of types of information, but more importantly, there are sources accessed through the library that are more appropriate for college research.

Documentation & Plagiarism – The process of including others’ research in your project and saying where it came from is a part of college research. Learn to avoid plagiarism.
