Listen to a great example of using the questions Who?, What?, Where?, Which?, Why?, When?, and How? to help you easily narrow down a topic that is big enough to write a book (or two!)...when you only need to write 5 - 10 pages :)
Not finding enough? Or anything at all? Maybe it's time to change up your strategy. Here is some great advice from a reference librarian on how to move toward a topic that doesn't drown you in information...and, also, doesn't leave you hanging out to dry :)
Just Right!
How do I know when my topic is just right formy assignment?
Ask yourself a couple of questions:
Have I found enoughinformation on my topic for the length of my assignment?
Do I have what I need to create a project that both keeps me interested and meets the instructor's requirements for sources?
