Seven Step Research Process
This outline is modeled upon a seven-step process that was developed by the Boston College Libraries. Brendan A. Rapple and Kwasi Sarkodie-Mensah, librarians at Boston College, developed and published the 'Step by Step Guide to Doing Research' online. The revised process contains an extensive set of online resources and links to useful tools. It was published with the permission of Brendan Rapple, who graciously supported the adaptation of his original tool.

Step 3: Use Indexes to Find Books & Periodicals
Step 4: Find Internet Resources
Step 5: Document Research
Step 6: Evaluate What You Find
