Need to narrow your topic? Try focusing on one or more of the following: - A particular time period or event
- A specific geographic area or region
- A particular person, group of people, or population
- One aspect of the topic (e.g. aesthetic, economic, historical, political, psychological, sociological, &c.)
- One issue or point related to the topic
Is your topic too narrow? Are you having difficulty finding enough information? Make your search broader by: - Exploring related topics or issues
- Expanding the time period covered
- Expanding the people, social group, or population considered
- Expanding the geographic region discussed
- Comparing or contrasting one topic, issue, social group, or geographic region with another
For additional help and suggestions, talk with your professor or stop by the reference desk.
