Starting Your Research - Choosing a Topic

The biggest hurdle to starting your research can be choosing your topic. If you need help deciding on a topic, here are some suggestions:

• Talk to your instructor. They can recommend topics that are worth researching.
• Ask a librarian. They have had years of experience in research and can suggest good topics.
• Book series that contain pro/con viewpoints on current controversial issues:
  o At Issue
  o Contemporary Issues
  o Current Controversies
  o Opposing Viewpoints
  
• Database – Issues & Controversies, full text resource of pro/con current controversial issues.
