Research Tip

It is recommended that you print a copy of any information you find on the Internet that you plan to use in your research paper. Keep copies until after your paper is graded and returned to you by your instructor. If your teacher has questions regarding your Internet resources you can show him/her your copies for clarification. A URL for a site is not always sufficient, since the information may have changed since your last visit.
