Here's an example: your instructor has asked you to find information about studying while listening to music. You forgot about the assignment until now, the weekend before you must present it orally  in class. Quick! You get to a computer, go to Goggle and type in  studying +"listening to music"  Whew! You're safe! Your search turned up about 1,170,000 websites with information about listneing to music while you study. You click on the first three, read them, copy and paste a few lines and pictures into a PowerPoint file and, Bingo!, you're ready for your presentation.  This college research stuff isn't hard at all.

Here are the important things to look out for:
