If you loose this, you can find a copy of it on the Wiki under the Writing Assignments Link. 2. Open the Wiki, and under the Writing Assignments link, go to the link Websites for Jungle Research Paper. 3. Open another new window, and then open Google.com – You will now have two windows open for research purposes. 4. As you do your research, concentrate on doing all of the research for one area at one time. When you are done with the research for one area, move onto doing all of the research for another area. 5. You will make one note card under the pertinent category for each piece of data. 6. When you make the note card, you will immediately enter the bibliographic information on your working bibliography. This will be revised when you are all done with your paper and will become the reference page of your research paper. The working bibliography will be placed in the sources folder. To set up the working bibliography, open a word file and save it as workbib. Put page headings at the top of your page as follows:
