Picking a Topic
the research , research, reading and writing less of a chore.(TIP: Always start with a broad topic. It is easier to eliminate information as you write than it is to start with too little.) It is a good idea to wait to decide on a topic until you do some preliminary searching for books, articles, and web-based resources. If you can't find enough, you will want the flexibility to select a new topic. A great start to preliminary research is browsing the REFERENCE SECTION in the library (located on the 3rd floor).
Suggested Reference Sources:

After you finish looking in the catalog, try browsing the shelves! A starting point for browsing for books on film is on the 1ST FLOOR within the PN1993-1999 section.
