LibGuides: Extended Essay: Tools for Note Taking

Some tools to organise your note taking

The beginning of your essay will involve a great deal of research - it is extremely important to take notes as you go along. This can be from journals, news articles or from youtube videos. You need to collect information, and sort it into relevant categories and know exactly where you go that information from.

Some tools you could use are shown below. However the most important thing is that you take notes as you go along. Don't go back to a source - you will be wasting your time. Remember to also get the citation as you go.
