"Practice thinking about sources."

When considering information research, this phrase means that I should practice and sharpen my skills in knowing which sources are credible and which are not. I should practice how to look for credible sources, and how to find the sources that will give me easy and quick access to the information I need. If Im doing research, I want to be efficient. If I am practicing my skills in researching for information, I will become more familiar with how to use sources, and which sources will best help me.

Practice makes perfect! That applies to everything.

Before coming to college, I used Google for every research topic. After four years of much practice, and many research papers, I now know of many sources and research avenues that give me the best information. This is the "information age", so there are constantly new additions to the research world. Students need to keep up with the changes, and must practice thinking about sources.

Meanwhile, I found this video about "How to Research a Paper" to be entertaining and helpful.
