A great idea can come from many places. Here are some suggested places to start:
Before you develop your research topic or question, you'll need to do some background research first.
Try the library databases below to explore your topic. When you're ready, move on to refining your topic.
Now that you've done some background research, it's time to narrow your topic.
Remember: the shorter your final paper, the narrower your topic needs to be.
Try filling in the blanks in the following sentence, as much as you can:
I want to research _________ (what/who)
and ________ (what/who)
in __________(where)
during _________(when)
because _________(why).
