Consulting resources in this order makes sense:

Reference Sources - this is where the most general information is located and is a good place to get background on a particular topic.  Be sure to check the bibliography or suggestions for further reading at the end of the articles you read -- they often lead you to other places where your topic is being discussed.

Books - more specific than reference material and usually focusing on one topic.

Articles - focus on a particular aspect of a topic.  This is also where the newest information on a topic can be found.

Some things to remember about research:

• Research takes time!
• Research is reading.
• Research is not necessarily linear.
• In the early stages of research, keep an open mind!
• Research builds on other research.
• Research looks different in different disciplines.
