Before looking for information of your own, it is useful to think about what you already know about the topic. Make some notes of your ideas and any key information you have learned.

Then look at what information you already have about the topic from your course. Check your course reading list. If you have been told to read a ‘prescribed’ or ‘recommended’ book for your course, you may find it helpful to read or re-read any sections related to your essay topic. Check the references at the end for other articles or books that might be relevant to your topic. Highlight or make a list of the texts you want to find. Do the same for any photocopied course readings you have been given for your course. Finally, look through your lecture handouts and notes for any references to readings that are related to your topic. Add these to your list. Because these references have been recommended for your course, they are likely to be of good quality and suitably academic.
