Taking out the information
Once
you have decided that there is some information you need in the
text, you must write it down. This is called taking notes. Remember:
Taking notes does NOT mean writing everything down from
the book exactly the way the book says it. You should always
paraphrase (which means write the notes in your own words).
You can take notes in several ways:
1. Note cards or notes
-- you can use index cards to write notes, and this way you can
keep a record of which source you used for each note.
