Progress Report

So far I've learned a lot about how to go about finding good sources to use for my research paper. You've offered a lot of very helpful information on how to ultimately make the research paper sound good, because it'll be back up by scholarly sources. And with that I've found a few good sources on my topic and how to pick out which sites aren't as creditable as others are.
If I had to say what I still want to know about the research paper focusing more on the library aspect of it and books, my question would be how much information would we have to use from a book to make it a good source. Is it possible to just take a quote from an entire book, or does that mean it shouldn't be used? I haven't gone to the library yet to look at some books, but I do plan on it this weekend, possibly taking notes as well.
