This site is designed to walk you through the process of conducting a research project from the beginning (e.g., defining the topic, identifying a research question and collecting preliminary information) to the final product (e.g., creating a formal bibliography and citing sources). Before beginning a new project, you are encouraged to carefully read through each section of the site and to employ the highlighted research strategies.
By using this research framework over time, you will become a sophisticated and intelligent consumer of information and evolve into a successful researcher. It is also important to keep in mind that research is an iterative process -- at times you will need to cycle back to the beginning stage, refine your topic, and then conduct additional online searches.
