Ways to take research beyond Wikipedia

-- Begin early. Allow yourself ample time to research your topic thoroughly. Starting the night before is a sure way to find yourself back at Wikipedia.
-- Log on to the Houston Cole's Web site and search the library catalog and electronic databases for material on your topic.
-- Still stuck? Seek out one of JSU's librarians. Helping you research is a big part of their job.
