All note cards contain the author's name in the upper left-hand corner. The author's last name (or the title if no author is identified) is usually sufficient unless the researcher is using sources by different authors with the same last name. In that case, the researcher must also list the author's first name to avoid confusion later. If the same author has written more than one book or article that will be used in the research, the researcher should indicate the title of the work from which she is taking the notes in addition to the author's name. The page from which the notes are being taken should also be listed next to the author's name. At the top of the card, the researcher should write a general topic heading for that note. A general topic heading is the subject for that particular note card. It may be changed later; but it gives the researcher, as she reviews her cards, a general idea of topic areas she has covered. Only one idea should be expressed on each note card.
