Once you have an idea of your overall topic, it may be helpful to find examples of your topic to write about and analyze. This kind of information can be found books (ex: a book covering the history of a conflict) or in newspaper articles (ex: an event that is part of a particular conflict). A general search in either the catalog or a newspaper database will help you compile these examples.
