Tips on Developing a Focus

 

  • Get an overview by reading a general or specialized encyclopedia article on the broad topic.

  • Take note of: Names, Dates, Places, Important Facts, and/or Major Events

  • Determine main call numbers and browse books in appropriate main call number sections.
  • Read over chapter titles in Table of Contents of book in main call number section to get focus ideas.
  • Read over subjects in book indexes to get focus ideas.
  • Select a topic that has a significant amount of pages. (Look for hyphens.)
  • Reminder: In an index italics and bold face sometimes denote pictures.

Make the best of what you find:

 

  • Use Bibliographies found in resource, ACCESS PA and Inter-Library Loan procedures to get books and resources from another library.
  • Don’t tell your teacher your topic choice unless you have already identified at least 50% of the total number of resources you think you will need to complete your project or paper!
