Research: B2+

As you do your research, it is important to have a good system for storing your source materials. Remember that items you have borrowed from the library may be recalled by other users, so where possible photocopy the material that you need. Make sure you respect copyright law. Tagging items with a note of why you selected it or what you intend to use it for may be useful. Keep all paper copies of items in one place.

Glossary

repository A repository is a place where something is kept safely.

For online materials, use the ‘favourites’ function in your computer or consider using programs which allow you to save different types of files including web pages, PDFs, and audio files into a single file. Many such programs allow you to store your material in a web-based repository, so even if your computer breaks down or is lost, your files can be retrieved.

However you choose to store your source materials make sure that you have full bibliographic information for each item. This will make it easier to create an alphabetical list of sources for the end of your essay.

For books, the bibliographic information you need to record includes:

the author or authors if there are more than one, keeping the names in the same order in which they appear on the cover

the date (use the date of the edition you are using, disregard dates of reprints)
