Chapter ยท 7:51-8:33

Build research from a rough plan and a key text

Draft a rough plan, consult a key text and subject librarian, then gather further sources around a better plan.

Notes

Planning begins before extensive source collection. Start with a rough plan and a key text, consulting a subject librarian or module guide to locate appropriate material. Those first discoveries should improve the plan before the researcher gathers more sources. This sequence keeps reading tied to the assignment and involves the subject librarian early in the research.
