Remember page numbers How to cite web pages: only cite the permanent address. URL's from lexis or jstor can't be visited again unless indicated otherwise. If it is a google book, cite the book and then indicate you found it on google books. Pages that can be re-visited and permanent links Qualifications: people with degrees are more qualified than those that are not. Bachelors degrees are usually not qualifications. Full professors > associate or assistant profs. Books-make sure to include chapter names if diff authors, and the editor User-friendly/easily readable cites: NOT

Scan at real size for best quality Clear images = fewer OCR mistakes Check gigapedia and other sites to see if there is an online version before you OCR it
 * OCR** :

Put all documents in 1 document Do control F and R to embolden or highlight your search terms Cut going straight down Copy the cite so that you can paste it in each time you reach the bottom of a card and want to start a new one With each card, underline, put in header and a tag. This saves a ton of work later. If you can’t think of a tag, read it again. If you still can’t think of one it might not be a real card A tag is an argument, a complete sentence, and not just a fragmentary thought SAVE SAVE SAVE YOUR WORK EVERY TWO SECONDS. CONTROL-S EVERY TIME YOU DO ANYTHING
