Introduction to Finding Background Information

Welcome to the Finding Background Information module made available through the Highline College Library.

This module will help us:

  • Identify reasons to use background information in our research
  • Describe different types and formats of background information and where to find them
  • Use print and/or online reference tools to search for background information on a research topic.

This module will take approximately 5-10 minutes to read and watch.
