Consider using encyclopedias and other reference sources when you begin researching a topic. Some encyclopedias will provide more in-depth information than others, but any general encyclopedia is a good source to consult for background information of your chosen subject area. Most encyclopedias provide the following:

• Main concepts, including names, dates, places
• Keywords and subject terms related to topic
• Lists of related articles or additional resources
