Begin your research by reading some background information about your topic.
Once you have studied the background of your topic, find primary and secondary sources (books and articles) with which to write your paper.

I highly recommend meeting with a research librarian to discuss your research paper topic and how to find great primary and secondary sources for your paper. Schedule a research appointment and choose a time that works for you.
