 Here's some notes about the research process. Get your money's worth. O'Neill Library spends $12 million a year on your behalf, over $1 million in business sources alone. Initial research shapes your topic and research tactics. Intellectual curiosity and serendipity play a role here. Create better questions for class research and job interviews. Think and act like an investigative journalist. Ask who, what, where, when, why, and how, and evaluate sources for quality and bias. Always do a synonym hunt and hone your searches with keywords and precise terminology. Examples include NAICS codes for each industry sector and MESH codes for healthcare and specific terms for law reviews. Lastly, stay organized. Have a system that works for you. Give your documents, save links, save searches, and use a citation management program such as Zotero. I am here to help you with this research process.
