Do Some Background Reading
Reference sources are a great place to start when you're trying to choose or narrow a topic.
They'll help you learn the language of the topic you're interested in, and help you gather:
- basic facts or established information on your topic
- key concepts, terms, and people
- related topics, and more places to search
Online reference sources for background reading:
-
