RLP 8: Research Logs

In our podcast episode today, Diana and I discuss research logs.  You know, that dreaded spreadsheet that you should keep when you're doing research. We will discuss a few different types of research logs, including Research Ties, spreadsheets, tables, paper logs, and the research notebook. We will also talk about how we normally use our research log in our workflow. Diana is going to talk about how she never feels like she's really doing research until she has her research log open and is recording her search results. We discuss the headings used in research logs and how to fill them out. Links: Research Like a Pro, Part 5: Where Did You Look and What Did You Find?
