Research Overview[edit | edit source]

Research is done in cycles. You will complete a series of steps and then repeat the steps again, using the new knowledge you have gained. An illustration of the research cycle appears above.

For successful research, follow these steps:
1. Identify what you know.
2. [[Decide What You Want to Learn|Decide what you want to lear].
3. [[Select Records to Search|Select records to searc].
4. [[Obtain and Search the Records|Obtain and search the record].
5. [[Use the Information|Evaluate and Use the informatio].
