TIP #1: Read the background information and note sources listed in a bibliography. The sources cited in the biblioigraphy are good starting points for further research.
TIP #2: Look up those sources in the Online Catalog and journal indices. Check the subject headings listed in the records and do additional searching on those terms.
TIP #3: Remember that many books and articles found in the Online Catalog and indices will themselves have bibliographies. Check those for additional references.
A research project is a challenge in itself. You have a topic that interests you, and now you are expected to come up with a project using sources you might find. Now what? The resources/links listed to the right can help. They can give you all sorts of guidance on the reading, researching, and writing.
Researching is a learned task. Use these tools to help make the process easier.
Never! Never! Never be afraid to ask a question about any part of the research process. A librarian can help with some things while your instructor can help with others.
