If you're at the very beginning of the process, the Start Your Research guide is a great place to start.

Starting a research paper or project can be overwhelming. We suggest you begin by thoroughly reading your assignment, thinking about a topic you're interested in, and then exploring and modifying the topic as you gain more knowledge.

This process isn't necessarily linear and you will need to give yourself ample time to be flexible.

If you need additional help, you can always contact your librarian.
