  Online Research Strategy with Links

1. Get the Big Picture:

2. Search for your topic in popular news sources (pay attention to researchers' names that come up in what you read and search for them later):

3. See what the sides are. Here are a few opinion journals online:

        And, some education-specific sites and journals:

5. By now, you should have a good number of working search terms and an idea of what the positions are on your topic. So, now is the time to dig in and find the facts! If you need primary sources, you might check government document sites:

Otherwise, scholarly journals and books (try Google Scholar too) are your best bet. And, of course, actually stepping into the library (gasp!) and asking a reference librarian might not be a bad idea either.
