Compiling Your Research

Once you have looked at multiple sources, which might include: books, online - websites and databases on the topic you have chosen, and you have evaluated the sources, it is time to put your research together!  Note taking as you read the sources and creating an outline will help organize and make your research paper much easier to write.

The Algonquin College Library has a great research guide that provides templates for organizing your notes from different sources. Click on the research notes template to bring up the document.    Following the research process steps and using library guides can help put material in your own words and organize your thoughts for the final paper.
