THE RESEARCH PROCESS

 

 

Doing good research is an iterative process: going back and re-working your topic, keywords and thesis statement, again and again, until it fits your needs.

The Research Process Booklet, below, contains valuable information on how to search, and how to evaluate what you find.

 If you get stuck at any point in your research, please contact a librarian or your instructor. We want to help you!

 

Narrow/Refine your Topic

If you are having trouble finding information, you may need to refine or narrow your topic. Research is not linear - you may have to change your keywords and re-work your research question based on the information you locate.
