 * Topic: International Communications**
 * Methods to narrow topic selection down for a closer look**.
 * One of the first search engines that we would go to is Wikipedia. We would not use this as a formal citation work; however, Wikipedia will give you a variety of related buzz words to use in a later search.
 * Next we would look for any professional associations connected to International communications. From there we would start reading a little history about the subject, writing down any key players for this focus.
 * Another way to approach this term is to look at websites such as Amazon.com to see what books are out there on international communications. Once you have identified a few key books, read the editorial review for the select book.
 * Google Book search provides several related titles for your search inquiry. Often the titles of the books could offer possible words to narrow your topic select down.
 * One of the easiest ways to narrow your search down is to add a word or a phrase to your topic search. Example: international communications, marketing/ international communications or marketing.
