The DBA Program Guide is designed to help you gather materials during the research process. For a review of concepts and skills used in library research, click on the Tutorials tab and work through the LEO (Library Encounter Online) tutorial. While the tabs aren't in step-by-step order, they are in order by how often you can expect to use particular types of content.
The Research Process Step-by-Step:
- First, begin by finding background info on the topic/ subject using discipline- and subject-specific encyclopedias
- Then progress onto finding books and videos that can treat portions of the topic in more detail
- To find out the most current research, continue the search through article databases
- Searching databases of dissertations and theses can be helpful to see how other doctoral students have treated a topic.
