The focus is on free resources available online, but also recommend resources that you may have to pay for access.
Organizing Your Research
It's important to find a method and a set of research tools that will work for you. It may help to keep a research log.
If you can keep an organized record of your research, you'll save time and avoid "plowing the same field," over and over.
It also helps to have some "pre-designed" data charts, census forms and research guides. Some of these forms are free downloads from the open web.
