As you are reading, think about these questions:

• Are you finding related subjects that seem more interesting than your original topic?
• Are you finding the right amount of information for your topic?
• Too much information means you probably need to narrow or focus your topic.
• Too little information may mean the topic is very limited and you need to think about larger concepts; or it may mean you need to think of alternate terms. If you base your project on too little information, the view you present may be incomplete or biased.
• Will you be able to get the information you need from our Libraries? If not, do you have time to use Interlibrary Loan?

When you need help on your research project, talk to your professor, stop by the Reference Desk at one of the Libraries, make an appointment to talk with a Reference Librarian, or talk with someone in the Writing Resource Center on your campus.
