FInding Sources for Research

The key to writing an effective research paper is using the resources that are available to you in finding applicable research. The following is a list of resources that you may wish to use in assisting your research.
1. Use "Destiny" (Norco High School's catalog/database program for finding journals, books, etc.).
2. Use approapriate internet searches.
3. Talk with Mr. Hall or other Teachers in order to receive tips/suggestions.
4. Mr. Hall has a number of books that may apply to a student's research. You are free to borrow such books if they are applicable to your topic.
5. Talk with Mrs. Hall (Norco High School Librarian--FYI, no relation to Mr. Hall) to gain assistance in your research. Mrs. Hall is extremely knowledgeable and is a great asset to the students of Norco High School.
6. Talk with fellow students to see what they are doing, or what they have done, which is successful in their research.
7. Talk with parents/family members concerning tips that they have used in order to be successful with writing papers.
8. VISIT A UNIVERSITY LIBRARY. University libraries have access to more books and journals, which will assist you in gathering the information that you need. Furthermore, University librarians are extremely knowledgeable on how to find research for any given topic and are always willing to assist students in their quest for additional research and knowledge. THIS IS THE BEST RESOURCE FOR RESEARCH THAT YOU HAVE--TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT!
