Finding Resources by Subject Area
Your project scope will determine where you go to do your research (databases & websites) and what kind of sources you will consult (books, articles, white papers, dissertations, etc.). For example, if you are working with a non-profit organization for your capstone project, your research strategy will include looking at scholarship in the social sciences (broadly), as well as business databases and Google Scholar. This is because there isn't one single database that includes all of the scholarship about non-profit organizations, so you have to explore a bit to find the best sources. Most capstone projects will require searching using a variety of tools. Remember, your research will be a journey. If you have questions along the way, I'm here to help!
