Note-Taking

Reading/Note-taking Assignments

Follow the guidelines for Creating a Database in the Research Paper Guidelines document. 

You will only be creating notes for one source in this assignment.

Go to Elac.edu

   Select Library (on the right side of the page).

       Select Find Articles from the menu on the left.

           Select Databases from the menu on the left.

     Choose a database, either JSTOR, Proquest, Academic One File, or Academic

Search Complete.

                           Type in your search terms that relate to your chosen topic, select an article, read

it, take notes and submit them in the following format.

 

Give me the MLA article citation.

Put the page number of where you got your information (notes), followed by the notes.  If it is a direct quote, don't forget to use quotation marks.

Example:

 

Drucker, Donald.  Chemical Additives and Declining Crop Densities in the         

        Western United States. Berkeley: UC Press, 2014. Print.

41 Drucker points out that the farmers do not want to revisit the dustbowl era, which severely limited Midwestern productive capacities.

46 “Money is not food, it is money. Still, the expenditure is often necessary to communicate a message, particularly in a political context.”

 

I usually put a box around the citation, but I couldn't do that in this Canvas function.

This Drucker article is just a sample.  You'll probably have far more than just two notes.
