Step 1: Find Sources

In this phase, you will research information about each of your careers, an ethical issue and an emerging technology. You want to find out what a person in each career does but you also need to investigate criteria for each career that we will use for evaluation. For each career, you need to investigate the salary, education, hours, location and passion. You should be able to find information on all the criteria except passion. We are going to define passion as your desire to have this career.

· Look up the criteria for each of your careers on the Bureau of Labor and Statistics Occupational Outlook Handbook

. https://www.bls.gov/ooh/

· Look up the criteria for each of your careers on O*Net

. https://www.onetonline.org/

· Look up the criteria for each of your careers on a site of your choice

· Find at least one site that identifies an ethical issue(s) for one of your careers

· Find at least one site that identifies an emerging technology(ies) for one of your careers

 

Keep all (9 or more) URL’s in a Word document using the Word reference feature.

Step 2: Evaluate Sources

Read about evaluating website on the PGCC Library web site. Go to

http://pgcc.libguides.com/c.php?g=60038&p=385689

Read the information on this site which is the Evaluating Sources, Evaluating Websites section of the PGCC Library Research Tutorial. Look at your sources from Step 1 and see how they meet the five basic evaluation criteria. Replace those sources that might not be high quality.

Step 3: Create a Bibliography

Create a bibliography (reference page) using the Word references feature. Include each of your sources. In your GCFLearnFree assignment, you should have completed the Word Tips (tutorial subgroup), How to create a bibliography or works cited page in Word.

Managing your references will be much easier if you use the same computer; but if you plan to work in different locations, you will need to move your sources. Here is a link that explains how to move bibliography sources:

Step 4: Create an Annotated Bibliography

You are required to use your sources as evidence in this research paper. You will need to synthesize what you have read and then write your paper. Read the GCFLearnFree.org tutorial Use Information Correctly, Putting Info Together. Create an annotated bibliography to force yourself to read each source and take notes on what information will be needed to support the facts in your paper (career salaries, ethical issue related to new technology, etc). See a sample annotated bibliography in Blackboard. Submit these two documents (regular bibliography and annotated bibliography) into the Blackboard assignment for this phase.
