The Introduction is where you will introduce your reader to the problem, issue, or question you are studying. It is also where you will share what previous research or information you have located through your library research that provides context for the social media research question you want to ask.
You will enter keywords connected by "AND." I recommend entering one phrase or keyword per line. If your search does not return the results you want to see, try removing a term (to make it broader) or changing one or more terms:
EBSCO Academic Search Premier | ![]() |
ProQuest Combined Databases | ![]() |
Communication and Mass Media (Gale) | ![]() |
Before you start researching or writing, start by recording what you know and what you need to know. This will save you time in the long run!
