Crafting Effective Research Questions: A Guide for Library Projects

In developing your research question, remember to bring essential items to the library each day, including a pencil, paper, note cards, a zip lock bag or binder clip, and a flash drive. Your research question is crucial as it guides your study, demands analysis, and cannot be answered by mere facts alone. A good research question often starts with "How" or "Why," and might involve concepts such as "compare" or "affect." Additionally, formulate supporting questions to deepen your understanding and provide context for your research.
