Have a system for keeping track of your sources! Make sure that you have full citation information for each source.
BEWARE:
- Link rot (don't copy/paste URLs from the address bar when using library databases; look for persistent link option on results page)
- Losing folder/search history if you close browser window
Strategies for managing sources
- Built-in Word features
- Copy/paste permalinks into an email or document
- Save PDFs to your computer or the cloud (make sure they have full citation information)
- Email articles/citations to self using database email feature
- Use a citation manager like Zotero
- Optional: Create an account in the database to save items/searches across sessions (consider privacy; throwaway Google account?)
