Chapter five focuses on conducting research.  Within this chapter the reader is provided with different ways to help them conduct research that will be helpful when writing.  The different parts of researching that the chapter consists of are developing search terms, primary and secondary sources, and evaluating sources.  Developing search terms concentrates on helping the reader choose the appropriate terms to use when searching for information about a topic.  It also tells the reader that they may need to use different search terms depending on whether they are using the internet, databases, or a library to find research on their topic.  Primary and secondary sources explain to the reader the difference between these sources and why they are helpful.  Primary sources are original texts for the reader to analyze within their paper.  Secondary sources typically provide commentary on a primary source or they just help to support the topic as a whole.  Evaluating sources helps the reader find sources that are credible, reliable, and authoritative.  The first step in evaluating a source found online is to determine whether or not the author or publisher is credible.  Then the reader needs to sort through the information within the website to decide if the information is helpful with their argument.  Chapter five gives the reader many different ways to help with researching their topic.
