Getting Started
Encyclopedias are a great place to start, because they give high quality summaries of information on a topic. Also try some of the General Journal Article Databases to do a quick, broad search.
The big search box on the libraries homepage will search through articles, books, films, and many other resources, which can also help you get started.
