Getting Started
Much research can be done online from your school library, or from
home. This guide links to high quality resources. You may wish to begin your research paper or assignment using the online
resources in this guide, along with the material from the library.
-
Read your assignment carefully
-
Determine what is being asked in the assignment
-
Are there recommended readings to use?
-
Make a note of the subject, keywords
or concepts
For a very broad subject, or if you are unfamiliar with the topic, you may wish to use one or more of
these to help define and understand your topic:
-
A dictionary
-
A handbook
-
An encyclopedia
-
A general textbook
Once you narrow down your topic you might use the library catalog for book material. Books can
provide specific information and an overview or history of your topic.
