Library Research Process

Library research process involves the step by step process  used to gather information in order to write a research paper, essay, presentation or complete a project. As you progress from one step to the next, it is frequently necessary to back up, revise, add additional material or even change your topic completely. This depends on what you discover during your research. There are various reasons for adjusting your plan.

The research process itself involves:

1. Developing or choosing a topic

2.Gathering information by finding resources available in the library

3. Evaluating information before using it

4. Organizing and citing your sources

5. Writing: Need Help ? 

6. Contact the Librarians

It is very essential for the researcher to master these skills for life long learning as well as on the job.
