There is rarely a "single perfect source" in research. Researching and writing is a process which includes exploring your topic, thinking critically about what you've learned, and supporting your thesis through a variety of sources. This module is designed to teach you a valuable research skill: learning how to build a keyword search. Keywords, or specific words that describe your topic, are the most important tools used for research, whether in a database or in a browser.
