NJ Counties Source Page

Remember you must write a Source Page in your library journal.  You may also create a word doc, and save your work on it.  When you finish, you may print it out and place it in your library journal.  This will allow you to copy and paste.  Remember you MUST add your sources as you work on your questions, not later.

Each source has its own format.

Remember every time you use a source to answer a question, you must cite it on the Source Page.  A Researcher must always tell their audience where and when they found their facts.  This includes sources such as books, websites, and and databases such as PebbleGo, Facts4Me and Factcite.  Many of the websites on the pathfinder have already been cited for you.  You need only to copy and paste or copy them down on your source page.
