Document Summary
Scholars do library research to find out what has already been done. Library research helps our research by leading us to articles and books dealing with research of a similar nature. o! We can then learn from other people"s work and their mistakes. We generally make library research to gain as much information as we can about a given subject before narrowing down the focus for our particular research project. It can also provide background information for readers of your research. E. g. doing research on wrestling in tv, you might investigate topics such as the history of wrestling, sports in society, or media and sports. o! Information that will help us to focus our research. If you"re interested in violence and tv, you might focus towards the amount of violence on a selected animated cartoon program, or violence in professional football.
