Step 2. Collecting a working  bibliography
The Card Catalog The working bibliography lists possible sources of information from which you will draw the materials for your paper.  A thorough researcher will check out all of the following areas--the card catalog, the Reader's Guide to Periodical Literature, the reference section, the vertical file, microfilm, the Internet, and CD-Rom programs--and copy each source on a separate card, 3 x 5 inches, in the form shown.
