Google Drive will let you create folders to store documents in an organized and easily retrievable way.  We recommend that all students create a folder for Research projects.  You can store all documents relating to a research project.  For example:

• You can save any article from a web page.
• You can save any article from any KCU library database.
• You can save notes from what you are reading.
• You can scan pages of print documents such as book chapters or print journal articles.
• You can save citations, bibliographies, and links to citation generators.
• You can save rough drafts of your paper.
• You can save pictures of items to be included in presentations.
• You can save videos.
