WHS PBGR Pillar #4: Research

HOW DO I CONDUCT RESEARCH TO REACH REASONABLE CONCLUSIONS?

Step 1: Create the question or pose the problem to which you wish to reach a reasonable conclusion.

Step 2: Gather information from a variety of valid sources that is relevant to your question or problem that will help you reach your conclusion.

Step 3: Analyze the information and claims to your sources. Do the sources say the same thing or do they conflict? Work with the information you determine is valid.

Step 4: Organize the information you have gathered so that you can present if effectively.

Step 5: Be sure to give credit to your source. It's not just their exact words that need to be cited, but also the ideas that support your reasonable conclusions.

Lending Policy

Books can be borrowed for four weeks, but can  be renewed by just popping by the library any time (or doing it yourself on the Destiny Quest App - look at the box to the left!).  While we do not charge overdue fees, we do expect books to be either renewed or returned on time. It is also each student/faculty/staff person's responsibility to pay for lost or badly damaged books.
