Before beginning research,
there are many things to consider
Will you be looking for books, videos, government publications, or journal holdings?
How do you select a database appropriate to your research?
What is the difference between a full-text database and a citation database?
Is there a difference between a scholarly and a popular publication? How do you find out?
Are you a graduate student working on a thesis or dissertation?
Are you making the most of your time? How to develop effective search strategies?
