Be sure to check out our Research Center to learn cybersearch techniques for locating specific documentation and information once you have narrowed the focus of your paper. First, you will want to go to the Encyclopedia and look up your topic to get a general overview of the possibilities before zeroing in on a specific area. Once you have reviewed the encyclopedia, you're ready to define the focus of your paper. Generally, the more specific your focus, the better your paper will be. However, be careful not to limit it to the point where you may have difficulty finding related information.
