Suggested Research Timeline

The librarian suggests the following research timeline: search for tertiary sources during weeks 4 and 5 of the quarter, focus on secondary sources in weeks 6 and 7, and search for primary sources in weeks 8 and 9. These dates are not required or definitive, and you will find different types of sources during different phases of your research process. However, it does provide a helpful guide to search strategically and avoid last-minute overwhelm.
