Begin Research (Canvas): What Do You Know?

What Do You Know?

Q: So just how much do you know about your topic?
  • You need the kind of information typically found in encyclopedias, websites, and other background sources.
  • Now that you have a basic understanding of your topic you are ready to seek information in books, magazines, and newspapers.
  • You're ready for specific information. You'll want to find relevant scholarly articles, statistics, and government publications.
