What should I do first?
• Finding the right search term• Start big and then use patterns
you see in the results list to narrow your topic
• Most resources will have built into their system a “thesaurus” or “subject” or suggested topics links, use them
• Ask a librarian or your professor for suggestions

Field Research
Field research can be considered either as a broad approach to qualitative research or a method of gathering qualitative data. The essential idea is that the researcher goes “into the field” to observe the phenomenon in it’s natural state or in situ. As such, it is probably most related to the method of participant observation. The field researcher typically takes extensive field notes which are subsequently coded and analyzed in a variety of ways (Trochimn, B 1999)

Field Research
What is qualitative research? Qualitative research is a method of inquiry
employed in many different academic disciplines, traditionally in the social sciences, but also in market research and further contexts.[1] Qualitative researchers aim to gather an in-depth understanding of human behavior and the reasons that govern such behavior. The qualitative method investigates the why and how of decision making, not just what, where, when. Hence, smaller but focused samples are more often needed, rather than large samples.

Primary vs. Secondary Sources
What is a primary source? The definition of a primary source varies
depending upon the academic discipline and the context in which it is used.
In the humanities, a primary source could be defined as something that was created either during the time period being studied or afterward by individuals reflecting on their involvement in the events of that time.
Using Primary Sources on the Web

Google and Wikipedia aren’t intrinsically evil, just use them for the correct purpose in your research.
