Q. How do I narrow my topic?

When you begin your research, you might find your topic is too broad and needs to be narrower. This often happens when you are finding too much information on a topic. To narrow your focus, concentrate on a specific aspect of the topic. A good way to do this is to ask a few of the questions who, what, where, when, and how.

Searching the Gale Subject Guide feature can be really helpful when this problem occurs. Gale’s video on this topic can walk you through the steps.
