Chapter 32 described note taking as a thinking process, not just a method of copying words. Critical reading is a big part of note taking . It means reading what really matters and understanding the important parts. It must get you thinking about the source and how oyou can use it. The authors really stress the importance of a bibliography, especially used to avoid plagiarism, which is often accidental. They specify the difference between plagiarism and paraphrasing. Paraphrasing, even if you site the source, must be done in you own words. Sometimes, this is quite difficult. They have a really great strategy that I successfully used in my annotated bibliography today. Read through the information (critically, of course), then put it away (as in out of sight) while you recall the important points and how they could apply to your paper. Then, go back and check your notes with the information and fix any issues. This strategy worked very well for me. I would suggest trying it if you are having trouble paraphrasing in your own words.
