Find Background Information
When you start researching, it's a good idea to start broad and first find general background information about your research question or topic.
Background information introduces you to the various issues within that topic (so you can narrow down your paper topic, if needed). It can also help you understand more specific details about the topic as you get further along in the research journey.
Try the library's Credo Reference database to find background information about your topic.
