The Addison Trail Information Literacy Instructional System is a process to help you think and work through questions and  projects. You need to follow a system to find and develop the best answers to your research questions.  The following steps were developed and adapted by the AT faculty.
State the Question - That includes the task analysis, asking the questions and knowing what needs to be done.  Set a timeline that allows you to meet your deadlines.
Track down the Resources - Find out what resources you need to answer your questions and where do you find them.  What access do you have?
Use the Information - Sort and organize your information.  Paraphrase, quote and cite the sources you are using.  Make notes, use graphic organizers or an outline to bring order to your thoughts.
