KSL3 – Searching for text

1. The information that you include in your leaflet could come from many different sources.  It will probably include;

   • information found on websites
   • information found in a university prospectus (non-ict)
   • information found in books (non-ict)
   • information which you have personally generated 

2. Finding information for your leaflet is a good opportunity to make use of non-ict sources, at least one non-ict source should be included in your portfolio.  Take photocopies or scan relevant non-ict sources.

3. You need to take a screen shot of searches you make to find information for your leaflet. These searches should be multiple criteria searches separated by quotes “” plus “and”. For example, to look for information about sporting activities at Loughborough University the search would be;
   “University” and “Loughborough” and “sport”
4. Take screenshots of your search results 
5. Once you have found information on the internet for your leaflet, take screenshots of the information or copy and paste the text into a word document ensuring that you make a note of the source website.
6. The aim at this stage is to collect as much source material as possible.  You will filter out what you are going to use at the next stage.
