See Phase B. Background information; Goal: "I know
what others have done before, either in the form of writing or action,
that informs and connects with my project, and I know what others are
doing now."

Use the catalogs or databases during the class to locate an article or
section in a book that appears to be very close to what you need to
move forward in your research. Look especially for scholarly articles
(i.e., ones having extended bibliographies) that review the
range of things that others have said and done, or discuss the state of
some active controversy.
