And remember to back up your files so you don’t have to repeat your work!
Notes
Library Website. Try searching with broader terms vs. more specific. Using regional and time periods as parameters as you go will help you narrow down your topic. Also, pay close attention to the vocabulary that scholars are using when you come across articles. Using those terms will help you when searching!
Use class readings, newspaper articles, Wikipedia, and online encyclopedias such as Credo Reference (Links to an external site.) or Gale Ebooks (Links to an external site.) to find out basic information about your topic. This will help you brainstorm keywords.
