 * Project 1.8: The Process of Searching for Secondary Literature**

In this activity, you search for literature about a topic. At the bottom of this page, you'll find links to results posted in previous classes, which demonstrate that a variety of approaches are acceptable.

You can access guidelines for this project from the course calendar.

The purpose of this activity is to provide experience in completing some of the major steps in seraching for existing literature (secondary literature):


 * limiting or narrowing the topic
 * finding search terms (key words) for locating literature about the topic
 * determining possible resources that might be used, including non-library resources, if approprite, but emphasizing existing, secondary literature available in librtaries ... possible articles, books, etc that you might use to learn more about your topic.

Remember that you are looking for what would be considered **academic sources**. In addition, after you have brainstormed some possible ways to limit or narrow your topic, provide a scenario for the "limited topic" your group will be using for finding search terms and determining possible resources.
