Reference sources are a great place to begin your research. You can use them to find topic-specific information, and the information can help you to develop a research question or topic and think about the keywords you may use in your search. Here are links to a few subject specific reference sources that are available to you.
Books are a great place to search for general knowledge, background information, practical applications of research, and more. Use the main search box on the Libraries' homepage at https://ww1.odu.edu/library to search for books and media on your research topic.
