WHAT IS COVERED IN THIS WORKSHOP?
In this workshop, participants will learn how to get started on a research project, including how to focus their research topic from a too broad or too specific subject to one that is more researchable. Gale Virtual Reference and two social issues databases are explored as great places for background reading to start the research process. Other tips include creating visual aids to stimulate your thinking and how to get unstuck in developing your research topic or thesis.

After you complete and submit the quiz, your quiz score will display. Example: You got 100% correct. If you do not see your score, it means your quiz was not submitted.
Note: for any questions answered incorrectly, you must go back and change your answers correctly in order to move on and submit your quiz.
As the librarian for this workshop, I will review your quiz submission and email you a Certificate of Completion via a Digital Badge. You can show this badge to your instructor to prove that you participated in this workshop (if completing for extra credit or class assignment).

"Once you've got the topic, it's all downhill from there. ...as long as you've narrowed it down enough."
