Notes de l'éditeur
- How do we find and access information? - particularly online One way is via an OPAC – most libraries have OPACs now Online Public Access Catalog OPACs catalog the holdings of a specific library or library system. OPACs do not catalog what is in the material – for instance an OPAC may say a library has a particular periodical but it will not say what is in it OPACs allow for searching using several criteria – author, title, subject, keywords, etc
- Now that you have begun to research your topic, you may have had to make adjustments in your outline. Annotations The purpose of an annotation is to provide the reader with a summary and an evaluation of the source. In order to write a successful annotation, each summary must be concise and brief. An annotation should display the source's central idea(s) and give the reader a general idea of what the source is about.
