How do I get started?

Ask yourself the following questions:

• What type of assignment is it?
• How much information do I need?
• Is timeliness or currency an issue?
• Do I need information from a certain type of publication?
  • What if I need to find scholarly journals?
• Is point of view an issue?
• What if I hate to go to the library?

How much information do I need?

There is no set formula for how much information you will need for specific research assignments. Obviously, the longer or more detailed the assignment, the more information you will need. Regardless of the length of the assignment, it is a good idea to collect more information than you think you will need.
