  1. Use the Internet Search Wizard to search for additional resources pertinent to your Project;
  2. Record the query terms, any operators or optional features you use in your searches (The Search Wizard "this is what you query looks like" makes this easy);
  3. Keep track of all the URLs you explore;
  4. Write brief comments regarding the applicability of each result to your problem;
  5. Number each search instance (query-url-comments) on a separate, numbered line;
  6. Conduct multiple searches using as many of the top ten search tips as necessary.
  7. Continue this process until you find at least three additional, relevant--and in your initial judgment--reliable web sites applicable to your project.
