In order to do that you need to ask questions that will give you in-depth information, not just simple answers. Here are some sources that talk about asking good questions and how to interpret and use that information.

Note TakingApril 07, 2008When you find the information you are looking for, the next step is taking notes. This is an excellent system of gathering and synthesizing information when you are doing a research paper, and you can use these ideas when you are taking notes in your classes as well.

Primary SourcesApril 07, 2008Primary sources are letters, journals, diaries, photos or realia that have been recorded during an historical event or time period.

According to University of California Berkeley: "Primary sources enable the researcher to as close as possible to what actually happened during an historical event or time period. Primary sources were either created during the time period being studied, or were created at a later date by a participant in the events being studied and they reflect the individual viewpoint of a participant or observer."

Award Winning BooksMarch 20, 2008There are several ways to find award winning books in our Canby High School collection:

1. Using the online catalog (Follett Destiny) type the award name into the search field and do a "subject" search. e.g. type "Alex Award" in the search field and click on the "subject" bar. It will bring up a list of all the books we have in our library that have won that award.

2. If you have a favorite genre, e.g. "mystery", you can do a Boolean search. Click on the Boolean tab at the top and type in "mystery" in the first field and "award" in the second field and it will bring up all the mystery books we have that have won awards.

How do you determine if a book you have found on the shelf has won an award? There are several web sites to use to help you.
