Research Tips: 

• Start your research early
• Read background materials to aid in understanding issues and gain vocabulary to use in searching for resources
• The same search terms will not always work effectively in different research tools.  Experiment with broader and narrower terms and combinations of terms to find the best material in each research tool. Here are some search tips.
• If you're not finding a lot of information on your topic, try using the articles cited in the bibliographies of the papers you have located.
• E-Mail Carol Kochan or Jennifer Duncan if you need research assistance. We can suggest search terms and databases to use for your research
