===Work with resources - practical tools===
====Where to start====
* Use e.g. at [http://scholar.google.com Google scholar] to find reliable resources
From [[Blank page]] - take first steps:
** This is not the only possibility, you can use any other search engine, see the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academic_databases_and_search_engines List of academic databases and search engines]!               
* Still need to decide about your theme and focus? Start with [[Reading manual|reading (for writing)]] or try [[Prewriting techniques|prewriting]].
** Every library has its own information retrieval system (Charles University students can use "[http://knihovna.jinonice.cuni.cz/KSV-193.html Central Search Tool]"
* [[Literature review]] is a good starting point when you already have some (research or preliminary) question.
* Use Zotero for management of your citations with [http://www.zotero.org/ Zotero] (helps you save the citation in required format)
** There are many other available softwares, see the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_reference_management_software List of reference management software]!
* Assess quality of your resources (use e.g. [http://www.vts.intute.ac.uk/detective/index.html Internet Detective])!
