Finding Sources to Support an Academic Argument

• When you have a narrow focus for your academic argument, it will be much easier to find the pieces of support that you need; you will be able to limit your reading to just the pertinent sources. 
• As you research, consider making an outline of your argument and looking at the support you have in each area; this can help you see what support you still need to find.
• As you conduct your focused research, you will probably want access to a wider range of information. This may include electronic books and videos.
