For each note card, include the following information:

1. What source it is from
2. Label it as a quote, paraphrase, or summary
3. Author's name
4. Page numbers where information was located (use a time stamp for Ted Talks--see pink note card)
5. Information you want to use

Many thought that the internet would bring about more democratic systems of sharing information since powerful news agencies would no longer be the only news producers; however, the sheer volume of people creating and sharing information in an almost-instantaneous fashion partnered with the use of bots to target specific audiences has overshadowed any predicted benefits (Burkhardt 10-11).

Your goal is to have 6-7 pieces of information for each part of the outline, which is about 25-30 note cards total. You may find that one section has 10 note cards whereas another has only 4. Your topic will determine where you focus your attention. You may not use every note card once you get to the writing stage, but it is always better to have more than less.

For each section of the outline, you should have no more than two quotes. The research paper should rely much more on paraphrasing than quoting. See the handout for information on when to use quotes, paraphrasing, and summarizing.

1. You may find it helpful to color code your note cards with your source cards. For example, source 1 is pink, so any note cards that come from that source should be pink.

2. It will save you time later to label your note cards in MLA format. Both examples put the author's last name and page number in parenthesis at the end. This is a good habit to get into.

3. You can drag note cards from one column to another if you decide the information is a better fit somewhere else.

And the reason for that is that 80 percent of the people on death row are people who came from the same sort of dysfunctional family that Will did.
