How to Generate Keywords.docx

Developing Keywords:

Be flexible with your topic keywords (you may need to think of synonyms and related terms for your topic).
This graphic organizer may help you generate keywords

As you find sources, note some basic citation information (so you do not lose track of which sources you used).

Most LS Library databases provide citations (below the article, or via a link).

NoodleTools (see "NoodleTools" section below)

IMPORTANT NOTE:

LS Library databases provide complete citations.

Copy the entire MLA 8 citation which is provided and paste it into your citation generator:

In MyBib: Click More and choose Write/Paste citation (end of list).
In NoodleTools: First, choose the type of citation you want. Then, you'll have the option to Quick cite. These directions show more.

Citation means crediting information from a source used in your research. Your citation gives some identifying information about the source you used.
