Before you begin your research, it's important to identify what you will need. Your professor will often give you specific types of items that they want you to use for your assignments. These might include:
- Books
- Articles from journals, newspapers, or trade publications (all of which can be found in library databases)
- Websites
Always check the assignment to find out what type of sources and how many of them you will need. Ask your professor if you are still unsure of what kind of sources you should use for your research about your topic.
