Click on the Library Help tab in Blackboard for more details about researching AND see the Sample Annotated Bibliography. Use USC Upstate library databases ( Academic Search Complete, library catalog, or JSTOR) to locate credible sources. You may occasionally integrate BRIEF quotes, but in general you should be summarizing or analyzing in your own words.  The same rules for source credibility as in the presentation apply here, except that the paper assignment requires sources to come from the library or library databases.
