repare: Read the

Saving Research from the AU Library handout and the resources listed in the

Tools and Tips for Saving and Organizing Research handout. In those resources, you are presented with various methods for organizing the information you have gathered while researching on the Internet and in the Ashford University Library. In particular, you may find a cloud helpful for saving and organizing your research. Next, read the “The Beginner’s Guide to the Cloud” and “Best of the Cloud: 7 Top Cloud Storage Services Compared” articles to learn what this technology is and how it works. The cloud is a new and very viable option for saving information so that it is accessible anywhere. Finally, investigate two cloud storage services discussed in the “Best of the Cloud: 7 Top Cloud Storage Services Compared” article that interest you, making sure to thoroughly evaluate each one.

Reflect: After exploring the options for organizing research mentioned in the resources above, reflect on those that you currently use or those that you think would be most helpful for your unique preferences and needs. Have you ever had an organization crisis? In other words, a moment where you could not track down the original source that you intended to use? How might the cloud services discussed help you avoid such organization crises?

Write: After exploring options for organizing information, answer the questions below.

Prior to this discussion, did you have a system in place for saving or organizing your personal or academic information? If so, what was it?
