Initial Research Questions
Review the recommended information sources for your group (Business, Legal, Technology, Psychology) and spend some time searching in these sources. Take notes on the following questions in order to present this information to the rest of the class at the end of the session:
- What sources (databases, books, websites) did you use?
- What kind of information did you find? Was it current or historical? In-depth or a good background summary?
- What are some of the issues you identified that require further research?
- What were some of your successful search terms?
- Evaluate the usefulness of the recommended sources for the purpose of finding good background information and more in-depth research for your bibliography.
