17. TIPS ON NOTETAKING
• 1. Begin with the most recent studies in your field and then work backward
through earlier volumes.
• 2. Read the abstract or summary section of a report first to determine whether
it is relevant to your questions.
• 3. Make notes directly on the file cards as they are easier to sort and organize
than sheets of paper, backs of envelopes and so on.
• 4. For each work, write the complete bibliographic references.
• 5.To facilitate sorting and organizing, do not put more than one reference on
each card.
• 6. Be sure to indicate which part of the notes are direct quotations from the
author and which are your paraphrases.
