Use the tabs in this guide for tips on how to perform each step.

It is normal to go back and forth between the steps, using what you learned to make adjustments to the other steps. Check in with your instructor and group members to help you stay on track and Ask Us! at the library too.

Step 1 - Prepare to search

  • Understand your assignment, gather background information, and choose your focus question.
  • Doing this step at the start will save you time and lead to better results.

Step 2 - Search Education databases to find articles relevant to your focus question

  • Although some scholarly information is available on the Internet, finding the articles required for most university assignments means using a library database to access up-to-date and peer-reviewed sources.

Step 3 - Read the articles & write your assignment.

  • Pay close attention to what the assignment asks you to do with the articles - this will impact which ones you choose and how you write about them.

Step 4 - Cite your sources & revise your assignment
