(If a physical book is used, please make copies of all pages on which you have underlined important information.) Once all sources have been printed out, give each source a different letter. A print out of an online newspaper article should have a big ″A″ written on it, because it will be Source A. A print out of a research study online should have a big ″B″ written on it, because it will be Source B, etc. Also, you will give each page of each printout a page number, which you will write at the bottom of the page.
