Skunk Ape: Module 1

Module 1: Getting Started with Research

Summary

Now you are armed with the basic principles of research. You know your assignment and the purpose and audience for your research project. You have identified your information need and you know how to formulate your research topic. The next step is getting the information, but where do you get it?

You won't find everything to fill your information gap organized into a neat, easily accessible package, but that doesn't mean you should give up. With the right tools, some time, some persistence, and support from the reference staff at FGCU, you will be able to gather the information you need. In the next module of this tutorial, you'll learn more about the tools that are available and the strategies that will help you complete your research.
