Today was quite useful. I decided to simply compile sources together, whether I might use the information they offer me or not. I checked out two books about censorship and pornography from the school library. I have scanned the first 20 pages of one of the books and have already started making notecards with quotes and such. The information I found was mainly about the 1st Amendment and it's laws about obscenity and pornography.
In the computer lab, I went on infortrack and elibrary and found articles and testimonials that might make my research paper stronger. I did not read every article but simply scanned it for key words (effects, violation, pornography, children...etc). I printed out many, many different articles and I plan to read each one, making a notecard for every tidbit of information that seems pertinent.
I have not yet decided if I will make categories for my notecards while I write out the cards (ie: category 1 is in regards to 1st amendment laws, category 2 is in regards to children vs. porn etc) or if I will accumulate my information into one pile and then sort them out. I am leaning towards the former.
I have written research papers before so I know how important the notecards are and how useful they are.
I need to form my working bibliography....
