Considering the Research Process

1.  Topic Considerations

  • Select a topic which is interesting to you
  • Consult with your instructor if you have questions or difficulties

2.  Build a knowledge base using print and electronic reference books

  • Look for encyclopedias and dictionaries, and topical (one topic) encyclopedias and dictionaries
  • Use WebCat to locate print reference books.  Click here for a WebCat Quick Reference Guide

3.  Find circulating books to check out to learn more

  • First try WebCat, our online catalog, for holdings at Shenandoah - includes E-Books
  • WorldCat - for finding books at other libraries

4.  Find articles to learn more about specific aspects of your topic

  • Each subject specific LibGuide will recommend databases for locating articles
  • Many databases provide fulltext, but some will only provide citations, or citations and abstracts

5.  Use free Internet sources with caution, and the approval of your instructor

6.  Critically evaluate all information

  • Consider timeliness and accuracy
  • Compare information from a variety of sources if necessary
