Tips for research
Research is all about knowing what you need and finding the right terms and search strategies to find the information. Here are some questions to start you off:
- What do I already know?
- What more do I need to know?
- Who are the experts in the field and what terms do they use?
- How does the info that I've found fit with what I need?
On this page there are links to library databases/online journals and business/technical writing books to help you get started.
