Keep track of the places you have looked for information by creating a research log.
A research log will help you track where you searched, the keywords used, relevant results, etc.
To download sample research logs, checkout Capella University's Database Research Log and Scholarly Research Log.
Another useful tool for organizing your research is to use a Timeline.
Timelines are helpful for capturing important events / information in a chronological format.
