One research log I found, in the directions on how to complete the log, explained some of the information is filled out prior to searching the source and the remainder after searching the source. On the log I created, I separate the columns by the information recorded before and the information to be recorded after searching the source. Once I identified the columns I wanted included in my research log, the next challenge was to fit the information onto one page. I finally succeeded and now have a research log that will include all the information I want included. I've posted my research log in my toolbox.
As I am trying to get organized in my research, I realized my documentation was not the greatest, and improving my documentation will save me a considerable amount of time as I won't be looking at the same sources over. The first place I needed to begin was finding a research log that would work for me. Unfortunately, I was unable to find the "perfect" research log, so I decided what I needed to do was take what I liked of the many research logs on the internet and create my own log, one that would work for me.
