Find Background Information on your Topic

Background research provides context for your topic:

  • Your instructor is a great resource who can give advice about the topic and how to frame it;
  • Ask a Librarian for research help;
  • Scholarly subject encyclopedias contain brief entries related that provide context and potential keywords;
  • Subject Guides list reference books and scholarly subject encyclopedias about specific disciplines.

 

The Library strives to provide accessibility to all online content. If a library resource or video is not accessible, or you cannot retrieve it or view it, please let us know using our Report an Error form.
