Librarian's Research Tips:

Start with some background reading. While it is tempting to start your research by identifying available journal and newspaper articles, this process will be very time-consuming if you have not read up on your topic.

Use some of the reference databases and/or books recommended on this guide to help you identify important keywords and terms. Using this strategy, research is often better and takes less time!

 
After you have completed your background reading and developed a good list of keywords, you are ready to move onto finding Journal and/or Newspaper Articles.
