Topic Selection

Are you struggling to find a topic for your research paper?  Are you bored with your topic even before you start?  One of the most important steps for writing a good paper is to choose a topic that really interests you, since you may spend quiet some time on the paper.  Be sure to select a topic that is not too broad or too narrow in focus, but has enough information for you to write a paper.  For example:

Broad topic:         cellular telephones
Narrow topic:          cellular telephones and safety
Narrower topic:       cellular telephones and safety and teenagers
Too narrow a topic:       cellular telephones and safety and teenagers and Scottsdale

 

Research Guides

The following books in the SCC Library contain information on selecting a topic and doing research.  They are located behind the Information Desk.
