If you are not familiar with the subject area or the topic, it is important to first get background information.
Encyclopedias and other reference sources provide a good starting point if you do not know much about your topic.
After you have learned something about the topic, you can find a few books on the subject to get a general overview.
To Find books: Search the search box on the library home page to find what we have in our library.
You can also read articles; however, at early stages of your research, concentrate on articles that give a general overview of the topic.
During this initial phase of your research, remember to identify keywords/ concept terms that will help you to narrow your search and find more specific information on your topic.
