• It helps to start by writing a list of terms that you will use in your search.
• Keep notes as you research, the terms you used, where you searched, what you found.
• Once you have some terms do some background research to add more terms to your list.
• Now you have a bit more information on your topic start looking for more in depth information.
• Search for books, use the bibliography to find even more books or articles.
• Use library databases to search for articles.
• As you encounter words, time periods, names, places etc. that you don't know circle back to do more background reading.
