I have to write a research paper and I don't know where to start.
Answer
Here are three ways that you can get started on your research paper:
- First, get an overview of your subject and start to develop your research topic.
- Use the assignment calculator to break down the work into steps. The calculator provides helpful links and recommends deadlines for each step to help keep you on the right track.
- Look at a subject guide to get you started with a number of useful resources -- important databases, dictionaries and encyclopedias, websites, primary document collections and more.
Consult your subject librarian who can help you research your topic further.
